A compact integrated patch may be used to collect physiological data. The patch may be wireless. The patch may be utilized in everyday life as well as in clinical environments. Data acquired by the patch and/or external devices may be interpreted and/or be utilized by healthcare professionals and/or computer algorithms (e.g., third party applications). Data acquired by the patch may be interpreted and be presented for viewing to healthcare professionals and/or ordinary users.

ECG patch and methods of use

Aspects of a method and system for single chip WLAN and Bluetooth radios on a single CMOS substrate are presented. Aspects of the system may include a WLAN receiver circuit within a substrate of a single chip that enables reception of WLAN signals, and a Bluetooth receiver circuit within the same substrate that enables reception of Bluetooth signals. The WLAN receiver circuit and Bluetooth receiver circuit may utilize a single low noise amplifier circuit that enables reception of the WLAN signals and Bluetooth signals. Aspects of the system may also include a WLAN transmitter circuit within a substrate of a single chip that enables transmission of WLAN signals, and a Bluetooth transmitter circuit within the same substrate that enables transmission of Bluetooth signals. The WLAN transmitter circuit and Bluetooth transmitter circuit may utilize a single power amplifier circuit that enables transmission of the WLAN signals and Bluetooth signals.

A wireless device includes at least one antenna, a plurality of shared signal path components coupled to the at least one antenna, the plurality of shared signal path components including a shared adjustable gain element, e.g., Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), Power Amplifier (PA), etc., a first wireless interface, e.g. Wireless Local Area Network interface coupled to the plurality of shared signal path components, and a second wireless interface, e.g., Wireless Personal Area Network interface, coupled to the plurality of shared signal path components. During a first operational period, the first wireless interface controls gain of the shared adjustable gain element and during a second operational period that differs from the first operational period, the second wireless network interface controls gain of the shared adjustable gain element. With another embodiment the first wireless interface and/or the second wireless interface each includes shared adjustable gain elements for transmit and receive diversity.
