Abstract:
A wireless biopotential monitoring device which has the advantages of limiting electromagnetic interference and consuming low power, comprising:a housing; a biopotential sensor for positioning externally on a body, the biopotential sensor operatively attached to the housing; a first transmitter in operative communication with the sensor and operatively attached to the housing, the transmitter adapted to broadcast a first signal which is modulated by the sensed biopotential; wherein the first transmitter is further adapted to limit the power of the first signal so that the first signal will attenuate to at most a negligible value within a predetermined distance from the transmitter; the transmitter is further adapted to place information on the broadcast signal which identifies a location where the biopotential sensor is attached; and a display operatively connected to the biopotential sensor and secured to the housing.
