BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MEASUREMENT DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MEASUREMENT DEVICE, AND PROGRAM
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.
Method and Device for Reproducible Placement of ECG Chest Electrodes
The present invention relates to methods for marking positions for or for positioning of six ECG chest electrodes based on a subjects body height, which allows a reproducible placement of the electrodes in serial independent ECG measurements. The present invention further relates to a device for placement of ECG electrodes which implements said method, and methods and uses applying said device. Hence, the present invention provides an accurate and reproducible, easy to use and low-cost method and device for ECG chest electrode positioning, especially in serial examinations and in obese subjects by minimizing the mistakes in ECG chest electrode placement depending on the subjective and inaccurate defining of anatomic remarks for electrode positions.
Frequency analysis for predicting left ventricular dysfunction
Systems and methods are provided for evaluating infranodal pacing is applied to a patient. Electrocardiogram (ECG) data representing the pacing is obtained from a set of electrodes as an ECG lead. A predictor value representing a frequency content a portion of the ECG lead is extracted. A fitness parameter is determined for the pacing from at least the predictor value. The fitness parameter represents a likelihood that the applied infranodal pacing will induce left ventricular dysfunction in the patient. The fitness parameter is displayed to a user at an associated display.
MEASUREMENT STATION WITH ELECTROCARDIOGRAM MEASUREMENT
A measurement station includes an electrocardiogram acquisition system, two control electrodes configured to contact a user, and an electrical connection circuit, the electrical connection circuit comprising a feedback loop connected to the two control electrodes.

Apparatus for generating an electrocardiogram
Wrist-wearable apparatuses that may be removed and used as a chest-applied cardiac device may include two chest electrodes on an inner surface of a strap (or strap regions), as well as two finger or more finger electrodes on the opposite side of the apparatus. The apparatus may be removed from the wrist and placed on a chest of a patient such that two electrodes are spaced at least five centimeters apart and in contact with the chest and held in place with two or more fingers to capture orthogonal cardiac signals that may be synthesized into a conventional 12-lead cardiac signal.
INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM
