FINGER RING ELECTROCARDIOGRAM MONITOR AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

A finger ring health status monitoring device [100] comprising an inner ring member [210] and an outer ring member [220] positioned radially outward from and operably connected to the inner ring member [210]. The inner ring member [210] features a conductor characterized by at least one physiological-type sensor, and an annular bladder that defines an adjustable aperture sized to receive a finger of a patient [910, 920]. Adjustment of the aperture is accomplished by rotating the outer ring member in a first direction about an axis of rotation common to the outer ring member [220] and to the inner ring member [210], thereby causing the bladder to expand radially inward so as to reduce an inside diameter of the aperture. Rotating the outer ring member [220] in a second direction opposite the first direction causes the bladder to contract, thus increasing the inside diameter of the aperture.
