Abstract: The invention provides a sensor for measuring both impedance and ECG waveforms that is configured to be worn around a patient's neck. The sensor features 1) an ECG system that includes an analog ECG circuit, in electrical contact with at least two ECG electrodes, that generates an analog ECG waveform; and 2) an impedance system that includes an analog impedance circuit, in electrical contact with at least two (and typically four) impedance electrodes, that generates an analog impedance waveform. Also included in the neck-worn system are a digital processing system featuring a microprocessor, and an analog-to-digital converter. During a measurement, the digital processing system receives and processes the analog ECG and impedance waveforms to measure physiological information from the patient. Finally, a cable that drapes around the patient's neck connects the ECG system, impedance system, and digital processing system.

Abstract: The invention also provides an integrated system that combines an ablation system used in the electrophysiology (EP) lab with a novel, body-worn monitor and data-management software system. The body-worn monitor differs from conventional monitors in that it measures stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) in addition to heart rate (HR) and ECG waveforms. The combined system collects numerical and waveform data from patients before, during, and after an EP procedure, thereby providing a robust data set that can be used for a variety of analytics and reporting purposes. The body-worn monitor can be applied to the patient immediately after the EP procedure, e.g. while they are recovering in a hospital. Once applied, the body-worn monitor measures data in real-time, and transmits them to both an EMR and a software application running on a mobile device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or personal digital assistant.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved, Internet-based system that seamlessly collects cardiovascular data from a patient before, during, and after a procedure for EP or an ID. During an EP procedure, the system collects information describing the patient's response to PES and the ablation process, ECG waveforms and their various features, HR and other vital signs, HR variability, cardiac arrhythmias, patient demographics, and patient outcomes. Once these data are collected, the system stores them on an Internet-accessible computer system that can deploy a collection of user-selected and custom-developed algorithms. Before and after the procedure, the system also integrates with body-worn and/or programmers that interrogate implanted devices to collect similar data while the patient is either ambulatory, or in a clinic associated with the hospital. A data-collection/storage module, featuring database interface, stores physiological and procedural information measured from the patient.
