In electrocardiography (ECG) system, a patient cable connecting one or more electrodes to a processing device for processing ECG signals may include one or more electrode connectors mechanically keyed to respective electrodes and/or a device connector mechanically and/or electronically keyed to a cable connector of the processing device. In some embodiments, keying between the cable and electrode is achieved, for example, with an electrode including a hollow-post portion that defines a bore in conjunction with a post protruding from an arm of the electrode connector that is sized to fit within the bore.

An apparatus for generating ECG recordings and a method for using the same are disclosed. The apparatus includes a handheld device having four electrodes on an outer surface thereof, the handheld device having an extended configuration and a storage configuration. The apparatus also includes a controller configured to measure signals between the electrodes to provide signals that are used to generate an ECG recording selected from the group consisting of standard lead traces and precordial traces. When the handheld device is in the extended configuration and the first and second electrodes contact a first hand of a patient such that the first and second electrodes contact different locations on the first hand, the third electrode is in contact with a location on the patient's other hand and the fourth electrode contacts a point on the patient's body that depends on the particular trace being measured.

A pacemaker system includes a drive-sense circuit (DSC) operably coupled to a pacemaker lead. The DSC generates a pace signal including electrical impulses based on a reference signal. The DSC provides the pace signal via the pacemaker lead to an electrically responsive portion of a cardiac conductive system of a subject to facilitate cardiac operation of a cardiovascular system of the subject. The DSC senses, via the pacemaker lead, cardiac electrical activity of the cardiovascular system of the subject that is generated in response to the pace signal and electrically coupled into the pacemaker lead and generates a digital signal that is representative of the cardiac electrical activity of the cardiovascular system of the subject that is sensed via the pacemaker lead. The DSC provides digital information to one or more processing modules that includes and/or is coupled to memory and that provide the reference signal to the DSC.

Present invention provide a system and a method for recording, evaluating, screening and monitoring life style associated Non-communicable diseases related data of a subject via an Integrated Medical Device (IMD) in real time, and sharing the same on a server, either local or cloud based, for fast, active sharing of data by remote users anytime anywhere.

A garment cuff for detecting physiological data. The garment cuff includes: an elongate band having a first region and a second region and defining an adjustable loop for receiving a user limb based on the first region being positioned proximal the second region. The garment cuff includes a stiffener member coupled to the first region to define a substantially rigid base and a sensor panel affixed to the substantially rigid base on a user limb facing side of the first region. The garment cuff includes a fastener coupled to the elongate band and configured to position the sensor panel against the user limb with substantially consistent pressure.

A biological information measurement device, including an electrode contact state detector including a first contact detection circuit connected to either the first electrode or the second electrode among the electrodes, a second contact detection circuit connected to the third electrode, and a contact state determinator for determining a contact state indicating which of the electrodes is in contact with a surface of the measurement target based on a first signal output from the first contact detection circuit and a second signal output from the second contact detection circuit, and an input receiver for receiving a contact of the electrode with respect to the surface of the measurement target as input of predetermined operation associated with the contact state.

A system and associated methods for round-the-clock monitoring of an animal's health status includes an animal harness that is worn by the animal, and one or both of a mobile device and a remote server. The animal harness includes a plurality of sensors for collecting health measurements of the animal. The animal harness also includes a transceiver that communicates the heath measurements to one or both of the mobile device and the remote server, where a user may view the health measurements. Firmware in the animal harness, an application running in the mobile device, and software in the remote server processes and corrects the health measurements to generate a health status of the animal and notifications are generated when the animal's health is not within a safe range defined by the user.

Disclosed are a skin-attachable adhesive patch mimicking a leg structure of a diving beetle and having excellent skin-attachment ability even in a dry or wet condition, and a method for manufacturing the same. The skin-attachable adhesive patch includes a substrate; a plurality of negative pressure chambers formed on a surface of the substrate, wherein each of the plurality of negative pressure chambers has a truncated hollow sphere structure; a micro-wrinkle layer formed on at least a portion of a remaining area of the substrate except for an area thereof where the negative pressure chambers are formed; and a patterned carbon particle layer formed on the micro-wrinkle layer.

The disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for monitoring diaphragmatic response to phrenic nerve stimulation. The method comprises receiving in real-time a diaphragmatic CMAP signal. The method comprises computing a baseline value of a characteristic of the CMAP signal. The characteristic represents a diaphragmatic response intensity to a phrenic nerve stimulation. The method comprises determining a threshold value of the characteristic, representing a boundary of values of the characteristic indicative of upcoming diaphragmatic palsy. The determining of the threshold value includes shifting the baseline value. The method comprises receiving in real-time a ECG signal. The method comprises repeating in real-time: detecting a QRS complex in the ECG signal, monitoring the CMAP signal, computing a real-time value of the characteristic, comparing the real-time value to the threshold value, and outputting an alert when the threshold is passed. The real-time value of the characteristic is asynchronous to the QRS complex.
