Abstract
A method of monitoring a health status of a patient using a monitoring system comprising a pair of finger ring electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors. Each finger ring monitor comprises an inner ring member and an outer ring member positioned radially outward from and operably connected to the inner ring member. The inner ring member of each monitor features a conductor characterized by at least one physiological-type sensor, and an annular bladder that defines an adjustable aperture sized to receive a left-hand finger of a patient and a right-hand finger of the patient, respectively. Upon triggering by positioning the pair of finger ring ECG monitors substantially together, the conductors of each of the finger ring ECG monitors are configured to receive biopotential signals from skin on the fingers of the patient.
