A patch includes a sensor layer and adhesive disposed along an outer surface of the sensor layer. The sensor layer has a plurality of sensors, each adapted to measure a value of an electric field, and a plurality of magnets wherein each of the plurality of magnets is collocated with one of the plurality of sensors. Electric field data from the plurality of sensors is provided to a cardiac monitor.

Non-invasive system and method of spatial localization of specific electrocardiac elements

An apparatus for producing a fibrous material. The apparatus uses a first material source within which is disposed a first material and a second material source enclosing a second material. The first and second materials to be electrospun. A first and second tip attached to an end of the first and second material sources, with a collector spaced apart from the first and second material sources. A first and second electric field generator each produces a first and second signal each in the form of a sine wave and having a first and second frequency. The fibers are formed from the first and second materials as extracted from the respective first and second tips responsive to a first and second electric field generated between the respective first and second tips and the collector.

A patch including a fiducial layer, an adhesive, and a sensor layer. The fiducial layer having a surface adapted to secure to a portion of skin on a patient, wherein the fiducial layer further includes a plurality of fiducial markers having at least one of acoustic properties, material density, and proton content different from those of human tissue. The adhesive being disposed along the surface of the fiducial layer. The sensor layer removably secured to a side of the fiducial layer and positionable distal the skin of the patient. The sensor layer including a plurality of sensors evenly spaced from one another, adapted to be in electrical communication with the skin of the patient, and each adapted to measure at least electric field or impedance.

A method of monitoring a health status of a patient using a monitoring system comprising a pair of finger ring electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors. Each finger ring monitor comprises an inner ring member and an outer ring member positioned radially outward from and operably connected to the inner ring member. The inner ring member of each monitor features a conductor characterized by at least one physiological-type sensor, and an annular bladder that defines an adjustable aperture sized to receive a left-hand finger of a patient and a right-hand finger of the patient, respectively. Upon triggering by positioning the pair of finger ring ECG monitors substantially together, the conductors of each of the finger ring ECG monitors are configured to receive biopotential signals from skin on the fingers of the patient.

Finger ring electrocardiogram monitor trigger systems and associated methods

A system and method for verifying patient identity including a heart monitor, a memory, and a processor. The heart monitor may be adapted to collect a baseline ECG signal from a patient and a monitored ECG signal from the patient. The memory may be in electrical communication with the heart monitor and adapted to store a plurality of baseline statistical characteristics of the baseline ECG signal and a plurality of monitored statistical characteristics of the monitored ECG signal. The processor may be in electrical communication with the memory and adapted to compare the plurality of baseline statistical characteristics to the plurality of monitored statistical characteristics and determine a likelihood of patient match. The heart monitor may be configured for further collection of the monitored ECG signal if the likelihood of patient match is greater than a threshold level.
