Apparatus for sensing and processing electrical cardiac signals and method of remote sensing and processing of electrical cardiac signals

摘要

Described is an apparatus for sensing and processing electrical cardiac signals in a user's body, the apparatus comprising a contact surface having a plurality of electrical signal sensing electrodes associated with an electronic processing circuit and communication unit. The apparatus is configured for sensing electrical signals and is arranged within a single housing. It is configured to perform complete ECG bipolar, unipolar and unipolar precordial leads by at least four associations of the apparatus with the subject's skin. Also described is a method of remote sensing and processing of electrical cardiac signals which, via the apparatus, enables a lay user, or even the patient, to obtain the patient's heart signals.
