Computer-implemented system and method for providing a personal mobile device-triggered medical intervention
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system for providing a personal mobile device-triggered medical intervention, comprising:
- a wearable ambulatory sensor monitor comprising;
a disposable extended wear electrode patch configured for positioning along a sternal midline of a patient, comprising;
a non-conductive receptacle comprising a first set of electrical contact mating pads and a second set of electrical contact mating pads;
a pair of electrocardiographic electrodes, a first electrocardiographic electrode configured for positioning under the non-conductive receptacle on one end of the disposable extended wear electrode patch below the manubrium of a patient and the other electrocardiographic electrode configured for positioning on the other end of the disposable extended wear electrode patch that extends over the Xiphoid process of the patient, wherein the extension over the Xiphoid process facilitates sensing of ventricular activity and provides improved recordation of QRS intervals;
a battery electrically interfaced to the first set of electrical contact mating pads and located between and in alignment with the electrodes, wherein the battery is configured for positioning in a battery compartment provided in the non-conductive receptacle on the electrode patch; and
a flexible circuit connecting each of the electrocardiographic electrodes to one of the electrical contact mating pads of the second set of electrical contact mating pads;
a reusable sealed housing adapted to be removably secured into the non-conductive receptacle and comprising electronic circuitry operable to sense electrocardiographic signals through the electrocardiographic electrodes and a set of electrical contacts protruding from a surface of the sealed housing and contacting the first set of electrical mating pads that connect the battery on the electrode patch and the second set of electrical contact mating pads that connect each of the electrocardiographic electrodes;
an activity monitor adapted to be used proximal to the patient'"'"'s body comprising a physiology sensor operable to sense physiological data of the body;
a personal mobile device, comprising;
a wireless transceiver operable to interface the mobile device with a wirelessly-interfaceable server;
a non-transitory readable storage medium comprising program code; and
a processor and memory with the processor coupled to the wireless transceiver and the storage medium, wherein the processor is configured to execute the program code to perform steps to;
detect an event of potential medical significance comprising a cardiac rhythm disorder within the physiological data as sensed by the physiology sensor comprised in the activity monitor; and
trigger dispatch of the wearable ambulatory sensor monitor with the wireless transceiver through a request sent to the server upon the detection of the event of potential medical significance based on the physiological data; and
the server operable to dispatch the wearable ambulatory sensor monitor comprising the extended wear electrode patch and the sealed housing to the patient upon receipt of the request as sent from the mobile device after obtaining the physiological data via the activity monitor, for further monitoring of the patient via the wearable ambulatory sensor monitor.

Abstract
Physiological monitoring can be provided through a wearable monitor that includes two components, a flexible extended wear electrode patch and a removable reusable monitor recorder. The wearable monitor sits centrally on the patient'"'"'s chest along the sternum oriented top-to-bottom. The placement of the wearable monitor in a location at the sternal midline (or immediately to either side of the sternum) benefits extended wear by removing the requirement that ECG electrodes be continually placed in the same spots on the skin throughout the monitoring period. The wearable monitor can interoperate wirelessly with other physiology and activity sensors and mobile devices. An application executed by the sensor or device can trigger the dispatch of a wearable monitor to the patient upon detecting potentially medically-significant events. The dispatched wearable monitor would then be capable of providing precise medically-actionable data, not merely an alert that some abnormality may be present. The patient can then use the sensor or device to physically record the placement and use of the medically-actionable wearable monitor, thereby facilitating the authentication of the data recorded.
