  • NON-INVASIVE CARDIAC MONITOR AND METHODS OF USING CONTINUOUSLY RECORDED CARDIAC DATA
    Publication number: 20120215123
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods of obtaining continuous cardiac information from a mammal. First, attach a self-contained, wearable, portable continuous cardiac monitor to the mammal to create a chamber containing electrodes used to detect cardiac signals from the mammal. Next, continuously detect without analyzing the cardiac signals from the mammal for at least 24 hours. Next, store information related to substantially all detected cardiac signals in the cardiac monitor.
    Type: Application
