System and method for improving signal processing using a ring-type electrocardiogram monitor

摘要

A method of monitoring patient health using a monitoring system comprising a pair of ring electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors (100). The monitoring system may also include at least one electronic component having a system on chip (SoC) (610) that includes a data store (630) and a processing unit (620). A biopotential signal from the left finger of the patient (first reading) and a biopotential signal from the finger of the right hand of the patient (second reading) are received by the respective ECG monitor conductors (940), and the first By detecting and removing (950) the latency of the signal between the first reading and the second reading. An analysis instruction executed by at least one of the respective processing units (620) of the ECG monitor (100) identifies the patient's physiological condition from the associated reading.
