DISPOSABLE SENSOR ARRAY WEARABLE DEVICE SLEEVE SYSTEM AND METHOD
A removable wearable device sleeve includes a sleeve body, one or more sensors, and an interface for operative communication with the wearable device. A removable sleeve includes a sleeve body having a front element having a first aperture, a back element having a second aperture, a tubular element having a first end and a second end with a third aperture, and one or more back elements define a cavity to encase an earpiece, an interface, and a sensor, wherein the sensor communicates sensor readings to the wearable device through the interface. A method of placing a sensor configured to communicate with a wearable device onto the wearable device includes providing a removable sleeve and inserting the wearable device through the first aperture of the front element into the cavity of the removable sleeve to provide a removable wearable device sleeve.

A biosensing device includes a sensor module and an electric signal transducer. The sensor module includes a biosensor adapted for measuring a biosignal of a host, and a fixed seat including a conducting member that is electrically connected to the biosensor. The electric signal transducer is for receiving and sending the biosignal measured by the biosensor, is coupled to the sensor module, and includes an electric signal unit electrically connected to the conducting member, and a battery connected to the electric signal unit. The electric signal unit has two electrical contacts that cooperatively define a switch. The battery provides power supply to the biosensor when the electric signal transducer is coupled to the sensor module.
PROBE, PACKAGE PROBE, EXTERNAL DEVICE CONNECTOR, AND BIOFEEDBACK DEVICE
A probe includes an insertion portion insertable into a body organ, a projecting portion being exposed to an outside of a body after the insertion portion is inserted into the body organ, a device mounting area onto which an external-device coupler is removably mountable, and sensing electrodes provided on the insertion portion and the device mounting area. When the insertion portion is inserted into the body organ, the sensing electrodes detect a biosignal and become conductive with coupling electrodes of the external-device coupler mounted onto the device mounting area. The probe is an electromyograph probe that detects a biosignal measurable by an electromyograph. The insertion portion and the projecting portion of the probe may be integrated or separate from each other. Both of the insertion portion and the projecting portion or only the insertion portion may be disposable.
Insertable cardiac monitor
Long-term electrocardiographic and physiological monitoring over a period lasting up to several years in duration can be provided through a continuously-recording insertable cardiac monitor. The sensing circuitry and the physical layout of the electrodes are specifically optimized to capture electrical signals from the propagation of low amplitude, relatively low frequency content cardiac action potentials, particularly the P-waves that are generated during atrial activation and storing samples of captured signals. In general, the ICM is intended to be implanted centrally and positioned axially and either over the sternum or slightly to either the left or right of the sternal midline in the parasternal region of the chest.
