A bioelectrode includes an electrode portion that acquires an electric signal of a living body or outputs an electric signal to the living body. The electrode portion is provided with an electrolyte layer that is in close contact with the living body, and is also provided with a sheet-like cover member that covers at least a part or all of the electrolyte layer. The cover member being provided with an opening that penetrates in a thickness direction, thereby discharging moisture accumulated in the electrolyte layer and preventing the swelling and deterioration.

Methods and systems are provided for determining a phase shift and noise insensitive similarity metric for electrocardiogram (ECG) beats in a Holter monitor recording. In one embodiment, a method includes selecting a first beat and a second beat recorded via one or more Holter monitors, determining a dynamic time warping (DTW) distance between the first beat and the second beat, setting a similarity label for the first beat and the second beat based on the DTW distance, and storing the first beat, the second beat, and the similarity label, in a location of non-transitory memory as an ECG training data triad, and training a machine learning model with the ECG training data triad.

A system and method for detecting and verifying bradycardia/asystole episodes includes sensing an electrogram (EGM) signal. The EGM signal is compared to a primary threshold to sense events in the EGM signal, and at least one of a bradycardia or an asystole is detected based on the comparison. In response to detecting at least one of a bradycardia or an asystole, the EGM signal is compared to a secondary threshold to sense events under-sensed by the primary threshold. The validity of the bradycardia or the asystole is determined based on the detected under-sensed events.

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.

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.

Physiological monitoring can be provided through a syncope sensor imbedded into an electrocardiography monitor, which correlates syncope events and electrocardiographic data. 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 on the patient's chest at the sternal midline and includes a unique narrow “hourglass”-like shape, significantly improving the ability of the monitor to cutaneously sense cardiac electrical potential signals, particularly the P-wave and QRS interval signals, which indicate ventricular activity in electrocardiographic waveforms. The electrocardiographic electrodes on the electrode patch are tailored for axial positioning along the midline of the sternum to capture action potential propagation in an orientation that corresponds to the aVF lead in a conventional 12-lead electrocardiogram, which senses positive P-waves.

Physiological monitoring can be provided through an actigraphy sensor imbedded into an electrocardiography monitor, which correlates movement and electrocardiographic data. Physiological monitoring can be provided through a wearable monitor that includes two components, a flexible extended wear electrode patch and a removable reusable monitor recorder. The wearable monitor sits centrally on the patient's chest along the sternum. The patient can place an electrode patch anywhere within the general region of the sternum. The occurrence of actigraphy events are monitored by the monitor recorder through an actigraphy sensor. Actigraphy becomes a recordable actigraphy event occurrence when the movement of the wearable monitor and, therefore, the patient, exceeds a certain criteria threshold of acceleration or deceleration as detected by the actigraphy sensor. Certain actigraphy event occurrences as recorded by the monitor recorder are considered to be actionable, that is, of sufficient importance to warrant flagging for further consideration to a following physician.
