Title: Heart condition monitoring
Inventor: AMIT WALINJKAR
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 2019-03-22
Abstract: Heart condition is monitored in real-time using a system worn by a person, the system having cable-free electrodes 12 located on the body surface, at least some of the electrodes transmitting data wirelessly to a processing unit 15. The electrodes produce electrocardiography signals in analogue form, transform the signal into digital form and include transmission means to transmit the digital signals to the processing unit. The processing unit converts the digital signals into analogue form and processes them to create compositedigitised signals. An analysis of the composite digitised signals is then carried out on the processing unit using an algorithm to detect an arrhythmia. An alarm is generated if an arrhythmia is detected. Machine learning may determine the arrhythmia type. Spectral density values may be calculated to determine if the signals have been distorted during transmission. Parameters of the ECG signal may be analysed to determine irregularity, heart rate, P-wave morphology, PR interval and QRS wave detection. The wireless transmission may be Bluetooth (RTM).
