Patent Images
1. A wearable physiological acoustic sensor, comprising:
- a plaster having a top layer and a bottom layer; and
an acoustic sensing component assembly including a component housing having a ceiling, a wall and a floor having a flange held between the top layer and the bottom layer, and further including a component stack embedded in the component housing having a body microphone with acoustic access through an opening in the floor and an environmental microphone with acoustic access through an opening in the ceiling.

Abstract
A wearable physiological acoustic sensor has an embedded and stacked acoustic sensing component architecture that inhibits motion-related impulse noise and environmental background noise, and provides good body sound capture, good patient comfort and an unobtrusive presence. The embedded and stacked component architecture also includes an environmental microphone that enables cancellation of background noise for further noise reduction.
