Abstract
This invention describes a wearable device related to electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring technology. An ergonomically designed wireless smart band pair for continuous ECG monitoring and analysis is disclosed. The pair comprises a primary and a secondary smart band with integrated electrodes. When the smart bands are worn around the two wrists, the electrodes contact the skin. The primary smart band acquires biopotential data from the first wrist while the secondary smart band acquires biopotential data from the second wrist and sends it wirelessly to the primary smart band. The primary smart band processes biopotential data from both wrists to acquire high-fidelity ECG data as per Einthoven's law without the need for completing a circuit via leads and/or touching and holding auxiliary electrodes. The primary smart band analyzes the acquired ECG data in real-time and generates pertinent alarms. It also stores all ECG information locally and wirelessly transmits this information to external devices.
