HAND HELD PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNAL ACQUISITION DEVICE

摘要

A hand held, portable and multipurpose medical device for biological signals acquisition, display and storage. The device includes a multipurpose computerised apparatus (2) which is primarily used for computer games as well as a biological signals acquisition module (1) which uses a plurality of biological sensors (6). A cartridge (4) used in conjunction with the computerised apparatus is pre-programmed and includes a read only memory (ROM) for storage of the program and a random access memory (RAM) for storage of acquired data. The acquired data in one form is an ECG and the apparatus simultaneously acquires and displays the ECG waveform in "real time". Multiple memories in the apparatus are used for storage of the acquired ECG and to enable output to a printer (8) for hard copy or to a PC for analysis and reporting.
