Patent number: 12121359Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring device embedded into the construct of a controller (e.g., video game controller, steering wheel etc.) to monitor a user's heart health and diagnose various conditions (e.g., AFib, tachycardia, bradycardia, etc.). The controller may comprise a set of electrodes including electrodes to contact the user's hands and one or more electrodes on the back of the controller that can be used to contact the user's extremities as a 3rd contact point to provide additional leads for higher accuracy ECG sensing. The set of electrodes may be positioned at locations on the controller where the user's hands are relatively stable, thus minimizing motion artifacts caused by muscular movement (thereby allowing for signal stability and longevity).Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: ALIVECOR, INC.Inventors: Ahmad N.

Patent number: 12064282Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to determining an optimal location on the body of a person where heart sounds may be optimally heard. The optimal location may be determined at a time prior to the attempted auscultation and ECG data corresponding to the optimal location may be stored in a memory of an auscultation device. Subsequently, when a e.g., physician wishes to listen to the heart sounds of the person, the physician may place the auscultation device at a first location on the patient. The auscultation device may periodically perform an ECG at a current location and use the ECG data at the current location and the ECG data at the optimal location to determine and provide guidance to the physician regarding a direction in which the auscultation device should be moved in order to reach the optimal location.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: ALIVECOR, INC.Inventors: Sean Cohen, Ahmad N.
