Patent number: 9144385Abstract: A mobile plethysmographic device for detecting a premature atrial contraction event is disclosed herein. The mobile plethysmographic device generates a pleth waveform, which is automatically screened by algorithms that measure the waveform to correlate, detect and store aberrations related to heart anomalies. A premature atrial contraction event for a patient is determined based on an identification of a time interval of the pleth waveform that is below the threshold minimum time interval followed immediately by a time interval that is above the threshold maximum tine interval.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2015Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Impact Sports Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Donald Brady, Nikolai Rulkov, Mark Hunt
