MOBILE DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS REMOTE HEALTH MONITORING Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61B5/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment and is intended for creation of personal medical devices for remote monitoring of patient's health. Mobile device for remote continuous health monitoring comprises a body, three outer flexible ECG electrodes equipped with a layer that is glued to the body. Electrodes are elongated with spatial separation of biosignal pickup zones and electrical connection. Two electrodes are connected directly to the button connectors located at the remote ends of the lower surface of the housing, and the third electrode is connected to the socket connector on the side surface of the housing. Inside the housing there are: a storage battery with a charging assembly, biopotential amplifiers, an electronic unit for processing ECG signals, an accelerometer, memory for storing accumulated ECG information and a wireless transceiver. On the upper surface of the housing there is a film keyboard which is electrically connected to the ECG signal processing unit by means of a flexible loop. Membrane keyboard incorporates a power on/off button, a tactile functional button and LED indicators for displaying various operating parameters. Mobile device of oval shape is made of solid hypo-allergenic plastic. Push-button sockets of two ECG electrodes are symmetrically spaced at distance of 45 mm from each other with possibility of arrangement between them of additional biometric sensor of registration of varying physiological parameters. Biometric sensor is electrically connected to the electronic signal processing unit. Female connector on the side face of the housing is sealed and has a group of additional contacts for wire connection of the internal electronic signal processing unit, for example, to an external charging device, or an external computer, or a smartphone, or a tablet, or to additional external electro-electrodes. Tactile functional button is made in the form of a flexible convex dome with relief-point ledge in the centre, realizing the emergency alarming function. Additional biometric sensor can be made or based on a group of emitting and receiving photoplethysmographic sensors distributed over the lower surface of the body, or in the form of skin-galvanic conductivity sensor in the form of arched conductive electrodes, or in the form of a mechanoacoustic sensor from nanoporous piezoceramics, or in the form of a partial or complete combination of the above biosensors.

EFFECT: disclosed device with wide functional capabilities is characterized by ease of operation and low cost, which makes it available in preventive use by wide layers of population, including at home.
