Publication number: 20230363683Abstract: An apparatus for generating ECG recordings and a method for using the same are disclosed. The apparatus includes a handheld device having four electrodes on an outer surface thereof, the handheld device having an extended configuration and a storage configuration. The apparatus also includes a controller configured to measure signals between the electrodes to provide signals that are used to generate an ECG recording selected from the group consisting of standard lead traces and precordial traces. When the handheld device is in the extended configuration and the first and second electrodes contact a first hand of a patient such that the first and second electrodes contact different locations on the first hand, the third electrode is in contact with a location on the patient's other hand and the fourth electrode contacts a point on the patient's body that depends on the particular trace being measured.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Ticker Medical LtdInventors: David AMITAI, Assaf AMITAI

Patent number: 10433745Abstract: An ECG system and a method for operating a handheld device that provides input to an ECG system are disclosed. The handheld device has a plurality of receiving channels. Each receiving channel includes an electrode that is adapted for receiving electrical signals from a patient's body when the electrode is pressed against the patient's body at a predetermined location on the patient's body. The method includes monitoring an output signal from each of the channels for any of a plurality of invalid signal conditions during a period of time in which the output signal is used to generate a standard lead or precordial lead trace, signaling a user that the handheld device is improperly positioned on the patient's body, and instructing the user on how to correct a placement of the handheld device based on the detected invalid signal condition.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2018Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Ticker Medical LtdInventors: David Amitai, Assaf Amitai

Patent number: 8942792Abstract: A method for generating an ECG measurement associated with a point on a patient's body such as one of the precordial points is disclosed for use with an apparatus that cannot make contact with the leg and the point simultaneously. The method includes simultaneously recording a hand signal and a leg signal during a first time period. The hand signal is also measured during a second time period together with a chest signal corresponding to one of the precordial points. A signal representing the leg signal in the second time period is then computed from the first time period data. A reference signal is then generated from the hand signal and computed leg signal during the second time period. The reference signal is then combined with the chest signal to provide the corresponding precordial signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Inventors: Assaf Amitai, David Amitai

Patent number: 8690768Abstract: A portable interface device and a system utilizing the same are disclosed. A probe interface connects the interface device to a probe that collects data related to a physiological condition of a user in response to commands input to the interface device on the user interface. The data processor stores information specifying a position on a user's body at which a probe connected to the probe interface is to be positioned. The data processor displays a graphic on a display screen indicating a location on a user's body at which a probe connected to the probe interface is to be placed. A data processor records data from the probe when the probe is positioned as indicated in the graphic. The recorded data is communicated over the computer network to a server on the network.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2007Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Inventor: David Amitai

Patent number: 8412313Abstract: An apparatus for generating ECG recordings and a method for using the same are disclosed. The apparatus includes a handheld device and a controller. The handheld device has first, second, third, and fourth electrodes on an outer surface of the handheld device. The controller records signals from the first, second, third, and fourth electrodes and generates an ECG recording from the signals. The controller also provides placement information regarding locations on a user's body that are to be brought into contact with the first, second, third, and fourth electrodes while the controller records the signals. The handheld device can include a cellular telephone or a PDA. The controller stores an exemplary normal ECG recording, and compares a newly generated ECG recording with the stored ECG recording and generates an indication that indicates whether the newly generated ECG recording is consistent with the stored ECG recording.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Inventors: David Amitai, Assaf Amitai
