Abstract
A system for monitoring cardiac health of a user including a local sensing subsystem, a contactless interrogation subsystem, and a remote monitoring subsystem. The local sensing subsystem may include a sensor patch configured to attach to the user and include a substrate, a passive radio-frequency identification transponder, and a first antenna. The contactless interrogation subsystem may include an interrogator separated from the sensor patch, which may include a second antenna, a demodulator, and a communications link. The remote monitoring subsystem may include a computing system comprising a processor for executing instructions. The local sensing subsystem may be adapted to perform at least one scan. The contactless interrogation subsystem may be adapted to operate the demodulator to receive a cardiac event and to operate the communications link to transmit the cardiac event. The remote monitoring subsystem may be adapted to execute the instructions to detect an arrhythmia from the cardiac reading.
