An apparatus for measuring an electrocardiogram and storing an electrocardiogram signal merged with a user input includes: a signal detector outputting an electrocardiogram analog signal by detecting an electrical signal from the heart of an object; a signal converter receiving the electrocardiogram analog signal and converting the electrocardiogram analog signal into an electrocardiogram digital signal; an input unit receiving at least one type of user input from among a voice input, a button input, a touch input, and a motion input; a processor receiving the user input, merging the electrocardiogram digital signal with the user input, and storing the electrocardiogram digital signal in an internal memory; and a communicator communicating with an external terminal to transmit the electrocardiogram digital signal to the external terminal.

A lightweight, disposable and substantially radiolucent electrode or sensor assembly for that universally connects to separate, non-integrated electrodes or sensors for the monitoring of the physiological parameters of a live subject wherein the electrode assembly is comprised of one or more radiolucent electrical connectors for connecting the electrode assembly to the sensors. The present invention also discloses a method of positioning the electrode assembly on a patient whose physiological signs are being monitored such that access to the patient's chest is substantially unimpeded so as not to obstruct the electromagnetic imaging of the patient's chest, the application of defibrillation paddles or surgical procedures that require access to the chest area.

A biomedical sensor system is disclosed that includes a plurality of electrodes and a contiguous adhesive material that is in contact with each of the plurality of electrodes. In certain embodiments a method is provided that includes the step of applying a first surface of adhesive material to a patient wherein the adhesive material includes at least two electrodes on second surface thereof that is opposite the first surface. The method also includes the step of receiving a time varying signal a first electrode of the at least two electrodes at a first location such that the time varying signal is not received at a second electrode of the at least two electrodes.

A biological data measurement device according to the present invention includes a substrate disposed at a position spaced a predetermined distance from a body surface BS of a living organism as a measuring object via a support member so that an air layer is formed between the substrate and the body surface, in which the substrate is provided with a thermometer including an infrared thermometer for measuring a body surface temperature and a substrate thermometer for measuring a substrate temperature, thereby measuring a deep body temperature with higher accuracy.

An electrophysiology map, for example a map of arrhythmic substrate, can be generated by acquiring both geometry information and electrophysiology information pertaining to an anatomical region, and associating the acquired geometry and electrophysiology information as a plurality of electrophysiology data points. A user can select two (or more) electrophysiological characteristics for display, and can further elect to apply various filters to the selected electrophysiological characteristics. The user can also define various relationships (e.g., Boolean ANDs, ORs, and the like) between the selected and/or filtered characteristics. The user-selected filtering criteria can be applied to the electrophysiology data points to output various subsets thereof. These subsets can then be graphically rendered using various combinations of colorscale, monochrome scale, and iconography, for example as a three-dimensional cardiac electrophysiology model.

A remotely-interfaceable extended wear electrocardiography and physiological sensor monitor recorder is provided. A sealed housing forms on a bottom surface a cavity shaped to accommodate an upward projection of a battery compartment formed on a non-conductive receptacle of a disposable extended wear electrode patch and includes a set of electrical contacts that protrude from the bottom surface and are arranged in alignment with electrical pads provided on the non-conductive receptacle. Electronic circuitry is provided within the sealed housing and includes an externally-powered micro-controller operable to execute under micro programmable control. An electrocardiographic front end circuit is electrically interfaced to the micro-controller. A wireless transceiver electrically interfaces with the micro-controller and externally-powered flash memory is electrically interfaced with the micro-controller and operable to store samples of the electrocardiographic signals.

The present invention relates to electrocardiography and to electrode arrangements used in electrocardiographic monitoring devices, and is more particularly related to a pad or patch containing said electrodes which may be used to passively and non-invasively monitor electrical activity generated by a patient's heart from the surface of that patient's chest, and to a connector which allows for fast and simple connection between the pad containing said electrodes and the devices and equipment typically used to monitor and view electrocardiographic information.

A disposable self-powered biomedical sensor comprises a printed wet electrode on a substrate sheet. The wet electrode is provided with an electrolyte element to enhance the electrical contact with a surface to be measured. Moreover, a printed battery encapsulated in a hermetically sealed compartment is provided on the substrate sheet. The disposable self-powered sensor can be stored within an enclosure or a package which provides a proper atmosphere to prevent the drying of the electrolyte and prolong the shelf life of the sensors.

Systems, methods and devices for reducing noise in health monitoring including monitoring systems, methods and/or devices receiving a health signal and/or having at least one electrode or sensor for health monitoring.
