Interface for two-part wearable patient monitoring device
First Claim
1. A two part patient monitoring device, comprising:
- an activator module including at least one power contact pad, a first optical data port and an internal battery, wherein the activator module further comprises a bias ring at least partially surrounding the power contact pad, wherein a bias voltage is applied to the bias ring; and
a sensor device that physically connects to the activator module to create the patient monitoring device, wherein the sensor device includes a sensor, at least one power contact pin that engages the at least one power contact pad, a second optical data port that communicates with the first optical data port and seal member that surrounds the power contact pad and the power contact pin when the sensor device is connected to the activator module.

Abstract
A two part patient monitoring device includes an activator module and a sensor device. The activator module includes a non-galvanic data port that creates a communication path with a non-galvanic data port on the sensor device. The activator module includes power contact pads that are each at least partially surrounded by a bias ring. A bias voltage is applied to the bias rings and a processor or circuit in the activator module monitors the voltage on the bias ring to detect a leakage current. The sensor module includes power contact pins that engage the power contact pads to transfer power from the activator module to the sensor device. Each of the contact pins are surrounded by a seal member such that the connection between the power contact pins and the power contact pads is protected from debris and/or moisture.
