GARMENT FOR MEASURING BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION FOR ANIMALS AND BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MEASUREMENT METHOD
An object of the present invention is to provide a garment for measuring biological information for animals, in which the electrode portion is less likely to be displaced from the body even upon a movement of an animal and the biological information can be measured accurately, and to provide a method for measuring biological information.
A garment for measuring biological information comprising a front body and a back body having a large tensile elongation EMT. Since the garment for measuring biological information has a band around a torso, it is possible to prevent the electrodes from being displaced from the body due to a movement. Further, since the connection portion between the front body and the back body of the garment for measuring biological information is made of a woven or knitted fabric that expands and contracts in the direction from the head to the tail, the electrodes are less likely to be displaced from the body even upon a great movement. Therefore, the garment for measuring biological information of the present invention can accurately measure the biological information of a moving animal.
Mean TSI feature based determination method and system
The present invention relates to a method to provide a mean temporal spatial isochrone (TSI) feature relating to an ECG feature (wave form) of interest, such as the activation of the heart from a single point (QRS), relative to the heart in a torso while using an ECG measurement from an ECG recording device. The method includes: receiving ECG measuring data from the ECG recording device; determining vector cardiogram (VCG) data; receiving a model of the heart, preferably with torso, as an input, preferably based on a request including request parameters; determining mean TSI data values representing the TSI feature relating to an electrophysiological phase representing the ECG feature, the mean TSI providing a location within the heart representing the mean location of the ECG feature at the corresponding time; positioning the mean TSI feature and preferably the vector cardiogram data points in the model of the heart and/or torso at an initial position; and rendering the model of the heart, preferably with torso, with the mean TSI feature, preferably with VCG data related to the TSI, for displaying on a display screen for interpretation of the displayed rendering.
