First Claim
1. An examination apron, wearable on an upper body portion of a patient for independently performing medical examinations of the patient, the examination apron comprising:
- a plurality of ECG electrodes arranged on the examination apron for detecting ECG signals of the patient;
a plurality of microphones arranged on the examination apron for recording heartbeat sounds of the heart of the patient from predetermined standard points on the chest of the patient, wherein at least one of the ECG electrodes and at least one of the microphones are placed adjacent or integrated on the examination apron;
a processing unit for receiving and processing at least one of the detected ECG signals from the ECG electrodes and the recorded heartbeat sounds from the microphones, and generating at least one of an ECG test result and a heart auscultation test result; and

Abstract
Disclosed is a wearable multifunctional examination apron for use in ECG and other medical tests. The apron includes a number of ECG electrodes for performing ECG tests, and a number of microphones for heart and lung auscultation. The ECG test signals and heart/lung sounds are transferred to a processing unit, and processed therein. Test results are then displayed on a built-in display device, and/or transmitted to external devices for evaluation. The ECG electrodes can also be used in chest wall movement tests. The apron further includes a temperature sensor and an inflatable cushion for body temperature and blood pressure measurements.
