Physiological monitoring can be provided through a lightweight wearable monitor that includes two components, a flexible extended wear electrode patch and a reusable monitor recorder that removably snaps into a receptacle on the electrode patch. The wearable monitor sits centrally (in the midline) on the patient's chest along the sternum oriented top-to-bottom. The placement of the wearable monitor in a location at the sternal midline, with its unique narrow hourglass-like shape, significantly improves the ability of the wearable monitor to cutaneously sense cardiac electrical potential signals, particularly the P-wave and, to a lesser extent, the QRS interval signals indicating ventricular activity in the ECG waveforms. Additionally, the monitor recorder includes an ECG sensing circuit that measures raw cutaneous electrical signals and performs signal processing prior to outputting the processed signals for sampling and storage.

The present disclosure relates to a wearable monitor device and methods and systems for using such a device. In certain embodiments, the wearable monitor records cardiac data from a mammal and extracts particular features of interest. These features are then transmitted and used to provide health-related information about the mammal.

A system for detecting a physiological parameter of a subject includes a sensing device attached to a patient and an interrogation device for monitoring an operation of the sensing device. The interrogation device is used to interrogate the sensing device to confirm that the sensing device is in proper operation while being attached to the patient. The interrogation device further performs user authentication and determines a type and/or extent of information that can be presented on the interrogation device based on the level of user authentication.

A system for monitoring vital signs, configured to be used in conjunction with a computerized mobile device, the system including: a cover sensor assembly adapted to be operably engaged with the computerized mobile device, the cover sensor assembly having integrated therein at least one physiological sensor; a physiological data acquisition module configured to generate a physiological parameter measurement descriptive of a physical stimulus received by the at least one physiological sensor, and a validation module configured to control a validity status of the physiological parameter measurement.

A wearable device for treating dysmenorrhea in a patient includes a microprocessor, electrical stimulator and at least one electrode configured to deliver electrical stimulation from the external surface of the patient's epidermal layer through a range of 0.1 mm to 10 mm or a range of 0.1 mm to 20 mm of the dermis by applying electrical stimulation to the epidermis of a T9 to T12, L1, L2, L5 and/or S1 to S4 dermatomes of the patient. The device includes a pad, in which the electrode is disposed, for secure placement of the device on a skin surface of the patient. The device is adapted to provide electrical stimulation as per stimulation protocols and to communicate wirelessly with a companion control device configured to monitor and record menstruation-related patterns of the patient. The control device is also configured to monitor, record, and modify stimulation parameters of the stimulation protocols.

An electrode sensor is provided. The electrode sensor can include a conductive sensor area that is at least partially covered by hydrogel. The hydrogel can be conductive and adhere to skin. A receptacle can form an open container surrounding the conductive sensor area and the hydrogel.
