  • Patent number: 12293287
    Abstract: A set of training electrocardiograms (ECGs) for each of a plurality of subjects is processed using a machine learning model to generate an output for each training ECG of each of the plurality of subjects. Training ECGs for each subject are labeled with an identity of the subject. A machine learning model is trained by comparing the output generated for each training ECG to a corresponding label of the training ECG to generate an identity model to identify ECGs of a first subject of the plurality of subjects. A first ECG is received from an ECG sensor and input to the identity model, which generates an output indicating whether the first ECG corresponds to the first subject. In response to the output indicating that the first ECG does not correspond to the first subject, a condition that the first subject has or may develop is determined based on the output.

  • Patent number: 12263003
    Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for sensing, generating, and time aligning one or more of the 12 leads of a standard ECG. A set of electrodes may be used to perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) of a user to generate a set of limb leads including a first lead I. A Wilson's Central Terminal (WCT) value may be determined using a subset of the set of limb leads. In response to an electrode of the set of electrodes contacting the user's chest, a precordial lead may be generated based on electric potentials sensed by the electrode while contacting the user's chest and the WCT value. As the precordial lead is generated, a corresponding second lead I is simultaneously generated. The corresponding second lead I is used to time align the set of limb leads and the precordial lead.

  • Patent number: 12121359
    Abstract: 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).

  • Patent number: 12064282
    Abstract: 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.
