ELECTRODE DEVICE FOR WEARABLE ECG-MONITOR Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B5/402 A61B5/404 A61B5/205 A61B5/24 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to devices of long-term ECG monitoring. Electrode device for wearable ECG-monitor contains system of on-skin electrodes and monitoring unit, electrically connected to each other and placed on pendant fixed on the body. System of on-skin electrodes consists of two matrices of pin electrodes, whose free butt end parts have salient spherical surface and are installed on belt part of pendant, tightly filling the body with possibility of providing "dry" galvanic contact with areas of chest anterior surface in conditions of patient's free movements. Each matrix consists of two groups, pin electrodes in each of them are galvanically connected to each other. One of the groups, which has larger area, is intended for ECG signal registration, the other, with smaller area, for connection to means of cophasal noise suppression. Butt end fixing parts of electrode pins are fixed on flexible dielectric padding, connected with pendant, made from elastic textile material.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase reliability of galvanic contact between patient's body and system of "dry" electrodes and improve ratio signal/noise of ECG signal in process of long-term application.
