Abstract

A system for detecting an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of a subject includes a substrate that is placed on and adheres to the skin over the sternum of the subject. First, second and third electrodes are disposed on the substrate, each of which has an end for contacting a respective area of skin. Directional positioning from the second electrode to the first electrode is substantially perpendicular to directional positioning from the third electrode to the first electrode. A circuit on the first substrate is connected to the electrodes and generates a first ECG channel measuring a difference in electric signals between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a second ECG channel measuring a difference in electric signals between the first electrode and the third electrode. A communication component on the substrate wirelessly transmits ECG information from the circuit to an external device.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14 / 216,174, filed Mar. 17, 2014, which claims priority to U.S. provisional application No. 61 / 787,772, filed on Mar. 15, 2013, and U.S. provisional application No. 61 / 924,986, filed Jan. 8, 2014, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to one or more wireless sensors, and a network of wireless sensors, for monitoring, in real time (or quasi real time), a patient's vital signs, such as various hemodynamic parameters of the patient. In addition, the present invention relates to using wireless surface-attached sensors with implantable heart monitoring devices for providing improved diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of medical conditions. Further, the present invention relates to integration of such wireless sensors with an electronic medical record storage and management syst...

Embodiment Construction

[0031]Certain embodiments of the present invention will now be discussed with reference to the aforementioned figures. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a system for managing healthcare for a subject (which used interchangeably herein with a “patient”). The system includes a plurality of wireless sensors suitable for attachment to the skin of a subject or implantable in the body of the subject. The plurality of wireless sensors can form a network. The type of network may utilize a routing topology include: star, mesh, pseudo-mesh network, or any other routing topology. Each of the sensors can include a sensing component configured to detect a signal corresponding to at least one physiological condition of the subject, and a communication component configured to wirelessly transmit the detected signal to either another wireless sensor or an external monitoring unit. The communication component of selected sensors can also be configured to receive and / or relay signals ...
