Patent ID: 8433399

Claim:
A portable ECG monitoring system comprising: a. a plurality of electrodes for sensing ECG signals; b. a processor to process and digitize the ECG signals; c. a transceiver for wirelessly transmitting the processed ECG signals to outside computing devices; d. a memory further comprised of at least one module, said memory stores the processed ECG signals, stores one or more pre-programmed algorithm software for detecting abnormal cardiovascular activities, stores downloadable custom algorithm software received from outside wireless computing devices, and stores Sliding Reporting Windows (SRWs) comprising of logs of recently recorded ECG signals prior to and including each abnormal cardiovascular event, and e. wherein the ECG processor continuously performs analysis on the recorded cardiovascular activities using pre-loaded algorithms, the recorded data is stored in the memory and transmitted to outside computers via the ECG's transceivers, the detection of an abnormal event triggers an alarm, stores and logs the most recent history of patient's recorded data just prior to and including the abnormal event in its SRW buffer memory, and transmits the SRW data wirelessly to an outside computing device for further analysis whereby further additional complex algorithms on the recorded data are performed to determine the most suitable custom software algorithm which is then downloaded into the ECG downloadable algorithm memory wirelessly.
