Systems for safe and remote outpatient ECG monitoring
First Claim
1. A system for recording and processing ECG signals, the system comprising:
- an ECG digitization and wireless transmission device (ECG_DWT) comprising;
a single lead configured to record real-time, beat-by-beat, ECG signals, anda ECG_DWT transceiver configured to transmit the real-time ECG signals;
a tele-rehabilitation module comprising;
an ECG transceiver configured to receive the real-time ECG signals, andcircuitry configured to i) process the real-time ECG signals and ii) recognize erroneous signals and reduce noise in the real-time, beat-by-beat, ECG signals received from the single lead, andwherein the ECG transceiver is further configured to transmit the processed real-time ECG signals to a network; and
a remote monitoring module comprising;
a computer periphery device configured to connect to the network and receive the real-time ECG signals and the processed real-time ECG signals, anda monitor configured to display real-time waveforms of the real-time ECG signals including the processed real-time ECG signals.

Abstract
A system and method providing outpatient ECG monitoring and safe home based cardiac tele-rehabilitation. The system includes a recordation module for recording ECG signals using at least one lead, a tele-rehabilitation module for home based exercise management for a patient'"'"'s recovery, the tele-rehabilitation module including a processing module for recognizing erroneous data from the ECG signals and an analysis module for calculating beat-to-beat annotations and determining if an ECG event and/or if a QT interval duration change has occurred. The system can include an exercise module for guiding the patient during an exercise session, a visual display that informs the patient to start and/or to stop the tele-rehabilitation exercise, a visual display and/or audible signal that informs the patient of an incoming or a missed tele-rehabilitation exercise session, and/or a communication module for transmitting/receiving data between the a cardiac tele-rehabilitation module and a physician/monitoring center.
