Abstract: Disclosed is a wearable multifunctional examination apron for use in ECG and other medical tests. The apron includes a number of ECG electrodes for performing ECG tests, and a number of microphones for heart and lung auscultation. The ECG test signals and heart/lung sounds are transferred to a processing unit, and processed therein. Test results are then displayed on a built-in display device, and/or transmitted to external devices for evaluation. The ECG electrodes can also be used in chest wall movement tests. The apron further includes a temperature sensor and an inflatable cushion for body temperature and blood pressure measurements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrodes apron for ECG which is comprised of an apron cast from flexible material to be placed over the chest of the patient, ten electrodes inlaid within the apron in predetermined places wherein six of the said electrodes are located at predetermined distances between the ribs, two under each shoulder and two at both sides of the stomach. Either curved or spiraled conductors are cast within flexible material and each conductor is connected to an electrode. A multiple-pronged cable feeds each of the conductors and includes a connector for connecting the apron to any standard ECG measuring device. The apron also has straps and a belt for tightening the apron on the body of the patient, locating the electrodes of the apron in their required locations for ECG tests. Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is an electrodes apron having two bracelets for attaching to the arms of the patient.
