A re-wearable physiological monitoring device includes a reusable component and a disposable component. The reusable component includes an electronics module and a latching system for latching the reusable component to the disposable component. The disposable component includes an adhesive patch to be adhered to a user's skin, two electrodes to receive electrical signals from the user's skin, a cradle for the reusable component to be latched on, and a battery to power the device. The disposable component may include a 'battery disconnect switch' for disconnecting the battery when the reusable component is not latched on; a gasket for isolating each contact between the reusable component and the disposable component in a waterproof enclosure; and a printed contact within the disposable component that is resistant to scratching. A latching system for the device may include two snap fasteners, alignment feet for keeping the reusable component aligned with the disposable component, and an asymmetrical wall to prevent the reusable component from being placed on the disposable component in the wrong orientation. A method of assembling the reusable component by ultrasonic welding is also disclosed.

Re-wearable physiological monitoring device

A device for gathering data has first and second electrodes. The first electrode is coupled to a surface of interest, and the second electrode is coupled to 'everything else' or 'the air'. The first electrode is shielded from the second, and from most sources of parasitic capacitance, by a shield that is driven by an active driver that drives the shield to track, and ideally to match, the instantaneous potential of the electrode. The second electrode is likewise shielded in a similar way from most sources of parasitic capacitance. These shields likewise help to limit the extent to which RFI from the device electronics couples with either of the electrodes. In this way the sensing device achieves a markedly better signal-to-noise ratio at frequency bands of interest.

Data gathering system

Receivers, which may be external or implantable, are provided. Aspects of receivers of the invention include the presence of one or more of: a high power-low power module; an intermediary module; a power supply module configured to activate and deactivate one or more power supplies to a high power processing block; a serial peripheral interface bus connecting master and slave blocks; and a multi-purpose connector. Receivers of the invention may be configured to receive a conductively transmitted signal. Also provided are systems that include the receivers, as well as methods of using the same. Additionally systems and methods are disclosed for using a receiver for coordinating with dosage delivery systems.
