Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved method, system and product to provide wireless ECG patient monitoring. Although embodiments make specific reference to monitoring electrocardiogram signal with an adherent patch, the system methods, and device herein may be applicable to any application in which physiological monitoring is used. The present invention also presents a reliable means for docking the interface while minimizing signal interference and user error. In addition, a novel means for transmitting and receiving a patient's ECG measurements is introduced which includes the use of an epidermal communication network (ECN) and an ECG enabled module for ECN communications and interface. Although embodiments make specific reference to the use of the ECN for ECG measurements, the system methods, and protocol herein may be applicable to any wearable device and/or other smart device which is ECN enabled.

Abstract: Various methods and apparatus for cranially advancing the tuberosity and patellar tendon of a quadruped are disclosed. The patellar tendon can be advanced directly or indirectly by performing an osteotomy on the tuberosity, and subsequently advancing the tuberosity cranially to an advanced position. Implants are further disclosed for maintaining the patellar tendon, and in some embodiments also the tuberosity, in the advanced position.
