Abstract:
1. A system for ambulatory physiological monitoring, the system comprising: at least one patch configured for affixing on at least a portion of a subject, said patch comprising a bio-interface head, said bio-interface head having a BIH identifier for identifying said bio-interface head, said bio-interface head comprising at least one sensor having an analog output, said patch further comprising at least one control and communication module communicatively coupled to said bio-interface head, said at least one control and communication module having a CCM identifier for identifying each control and communication module, said at least one control and communication module comprising an analog to digital converter configured to convert said analog output to a digital signal, said at least one control and communication module further comprising at least one transceiver, said at least one sensor being configured to sense one or more physiological parameters, said at least one control and communication module further comprising signal encryption circuitry configured to encrypt said digital signal to generate encrypted sensor data, said at least one control and communication module further comprising a display capable of displaying at least a portion of said digital signal; and a data collection unit communicatively coupled to said at least one control and communication module, said data collection unit comprising at least one transceiver configured to receive said encrypted sensor data and said BIH and CCM identifiers from said at least one control and communication module, said BIH and CCM identifiers being unencrypted; wherein said bio-interface head is removably coupled to said control and communication module such that said bio-interface head may be replaced with a new bio-interface head.
