Abstract: A system for biometric monitoring may include a patch, a plurality of electrodes, a flexible printed circuit, and a cradle. The patch may be adapted to adhere to a patient's skin. The plurality of electrodes may be carried by the patch. The flexible printed circuit may be carried by the patch and include an electrical pad and a trace adapted to provide electrical communication between the plurality of electrodes and the electrical pads. The cradle may be affixed to the patch. A back side of the flexible printed circuit directly opposing the electrical pad may be affixed to the front surface of the cradle. The electrical pad may be adapted to electrically engage an electrical contact located on a biometric monitoring device carried by the cradle.

Abstract: A physiological signal monitor having retractable wires may include a housing, a patch and a cradle. The housing may be adapted to carry a memory, a first electrical contact, a second electrical contact, and a processor in data communication with the memory. The patch may include a first side adapted to be secured to a patient and an opposing second side. The cradle connects to the second side of the patch and may be adapted to carry the housing. The cradle may include a wire retractor, a first electrical pad adapted to contact the first electrical contact, a second electrical pad adapted to contact the second electrical contact, a first sensing connector, a second sensing connector, a first wire connecting the first electrical pad to the first sensing connector, and a second wire connecting the second electrical pad to the second sensing connector.

Abstract: A cardiac event monitoring system may include a base unit including a base connector, a wearable electrode system, and a plug-in adapter. The wearable electrode system includes a cable, an electrode at one end of the cable, and a cable connector at the other end of the cable. The cable connector is configured to plug into the base connector. The plug-in adapter includes electrodes and an adapter connector that is configured to plug into the base connector. A handheld device may include a plug-in adapter having first and second electrodes and a controller that is configured to process electrical signals detected by at least one of the first or second electrodes that are indicative of a cardiac event.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing, a female snap connector member carried by the housing and configured to mechanically and electrically connect to a male snap connector member of an electrode, a three-axis accelerometer carried by the housing and configured to sense proper acceleration of the connector, and a microprocessor in electrical communication with the snap connector and with the accelerometer. The microprocessor is configured to receive cardiac activity data from the electrode, to receive proper acceleration data from the accelerometer, and to correlate the cardiac activity data to the proper acceleration data to define processed data.
