Remote monitoring of cardiac electrical activity using a cell phone device

摘要

A bio-monitor is built into a telephone handset or cell phone. Sensors are configured to obtain bio-signals while the handset or cell phone is in the position for normal speaking use of the telephonic device. This enables biosignal acquisition and/or bio-signal telephonic transmission to occur without the need for a position change to effect voice communications. The invention can also be constructed in the form of a case or harness designed to fit over a preexisting cell phone or a pre-existing telephone handset.
