ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR MEASURING ELECTROCARDIOGRAM AND OPERATION METHOD IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18084015 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR MEASURING ELECTROCARDIOGRAM AND OPERATION METHOD IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device and method for obtaining an electrocardiogram (ECG) from a human body using multiple electrodes. The device includes a memory, an electrode module with at least four electrodes, and a processor. The method involves obtaining contact impedance values from the electrodes when connected to designated points on the body, setting electrode combination information based on the impedance values, storing the information in memory, and measuring an ECG based on signals received from the electrodes while they are reconnected to the designated points.
- The electronic device includes a memory, electrode module, and processor.
- The device can obtain contact impedance values from at least four electrodes connected to the human body.
- Electrode combination information is set based on the obtained impedance values.
- The set electrode combination information is stored in memory.
- An ECG can be measured based on signals received from the electrodes while they are reconnected to designated points on the body.
Potential Applications
- Medical diagnostics and monitoring
- Cardiac health assessment
- Fitness tracking and monitoring
- Remote patient monitoring
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the process of obtaining an ECG by automatically setting electrode combination information based on impedance values.
- Reduces the need for manual adjustment of electrode connections.
- Improves accuracy and reliability of ECG measurements.
Benefits
- Streamlines the ECG measurement process, saving time and effort.
- Enhances user experience by eliminating the need for complex electrode setup.
- Enables more accurate and consistent ECG measurements.
- Facilitates remote monitoring and telemedicine applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a memory, an electrode module including at least four electrodes respectively connectable to a human body, and at least one processor. The processor implements the method, including: when the at least four electrodes are connected to designated connection points on the human body, obtain contact impedance values from the at least four electrodes, set electrode combination information for respectively connecting the at least four electrodes with the designated connection points, based on the obtained contact impedance values, and store the set electrode combination information in the memory, and measure an electrocardiogram (ECG) based on signals received from the electrode module while the at least four electrodes are respectively reconnected to the designated connection points, based on the stored electrode combination information.
