[0029] The utility model relates to a chest strap with an electrocardiogram lead patch. The ends of the left section and the right section are provided with connecting pieces for being detachably connected around the back.

[0030] Example 3 Reference Figure 3 ,A method for multi-body type ECG lead patch, step 1: data collection

[0031] At the beginning, each patch starts data collection synchronously, and each patch records its own ECG signal; each lead point not only records its own ECG signal, but also records the signals of several surrounding lead points. The purpose of this is to use local signal redundancy to enhance the accuracy and robustness of subsequent signal analysis.

[0032] Step 2: Preliminary signal processing

[0033] 2.1 Signal filtering: Use a bandpass filter to remove high-frequency noise (such as electromagnetic interference) and low-frequency interference (such as baseline drift caused by breathing) from all collected ECG signals;

[0034] 2.2 Signal normalization: In order to eliminate the potential amplitude differences between different lead points, the filtered signal is normalized;

[0035] Step 3: Identification and elimination of wrong lead positions

[0036] 3.1 Statistical analysis: Calculate the correlation between the ECG signal of each lead point and the signals of its surrounding lead points; the ECG signals of adjacent lead points should have a high degree of similarity

[0037] 3.2 Anomaly detection: Identify lead points with low correlation with surrounding lead point signals and mark them as abnormal; abnormal lead points may be placed incorrectly or have problems with signal acquisition

[0038] 3.3 Signal consistency test: further test the signal consistency of the lead points marked as abnormal; detect whether the characteristics of the R wave are consistent with most lead points, and remove those that are not consistent;

[0039] Step 4: Optimal lead point selection

[0040] 4.1 Signal quality assessment: Signal quality assessment is performed on all lead points that have not been eliminated, including signal-to-noise ratio and R wave amplitude indicators;

[0041] 4.2 Data fusion: Based on the signal quality evaluation results, select the lead point with the highest signal-to-noise ratio as the best lead point; if there are multiple lead points with similar signal quality, data fusion technology can be used to integrate the data of these lead points to improve the overall quality of the final ECG signal.

[0042] Step 5: ECG Generation

[0043] Generate an ECG using the ECG signals obtained from the optimal lead points.

[0044] Covering the area around the heart, the intelligent algorithm automatically selects the best lead point for ECG signal collection and analysis, solving the problems of complexity, inaccuracy and poor adaptability to special groups of people in traditional ECG lead placement. It can automatically adapt to users of different body types, simplify the ECG monitoring process, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of ECG signal collection, especially for special groups such as thin adults and children.

[0045] Embodiment 4 A chest strap with an electrocardiogram lead patch has drive buttons corresponding to the lead points on the outer sides of the left and right segments. The drive buttons are connected to the control center through signals, and the control gives priority to adopting the lead point data corresponding to the drive buttons.

[0046] The drive button allows the physician or user to manually select certain lead points as candidate points for the subsequent automatic selection process of the best lead point.

[0047] 1. Preliminary selection of candidate sites:

[0048] -When the drive button is pressed, the corresponding lead point is activated and its signal data is processed first. The data of the candidate lead point will be used for preliminary signal quality analysis, including signal-to-noise ratio detection and waveform consistency assessment.

[0049] 2. Signal quality assessment:

[0050] -For each candidate lead point, the system will calculate the correlation between its signal and the signals of surrounding lead points and the signal-to-noise ratio, and screen out the lead point with the best signal quality.

[0051] 3. Best lead point selection:

[0052] -Based on the above evaluation, the system will select the lead point with the clearest and most stable signal from the candidate set. If the quality of multiple lead points is similar, the system will use data fusion technology to synthesize the signals of these points to further improve the accuracy of the ECG.

[0053] 4.ECG generation:

[0054] - Generate an ECG using ECG signals or synthetic signals obtained from the best lead points to provide diagnostic support to doctors.

[0055] The above are only preferred specific implementation modes of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
