System and method for non-invasive monitoring of physiological parameters
First Claim
1. A method of non-invasively acquiring a physiological measurement of a mammal, comprising:
- establishing an electrical connection between a first electrode and a first ear of the mammal in a manner suitable for obtaining a first electrical signal;
establishing an electrical connection between a second electrode and a first alternate location of the mammal in a manner suitable for obtaining a second electrical signal;
establishing an electrical connection between a means for electrical signal detection and the mammal in a manner suitable for obtaining a third electrical signal;
receiving the first electrical signal, the second electrical signal, and the third electrical signal at a receiver; and
rectifying the first electrical signal, the second electrical signal, and the third electrical signal into the physiological measurement;
wherein the physiological measurement comprises an electrocardiogram.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for enabling the non-invasive acquisition of physiological parameters of a mammal, while allowing the mammal to move around a predetermined area is provided. In accordance with one example embodiment, a monitoring device for non-invasively acquiring physiological measurements of a mammal is provided. The device includes a first electrode configured to attach to an ear of the mammal in a manner suitable for obtaining a first electrical signal. A second electrode is configured to attach to a first alternate location of the mammal in a manner suitable for obtaining a second electrical signal. A third electrode is configured to attach to a second alternate location of the mammal in a manner suitable for obtaining a third electrical signal. The first electrode, second electrode, and third electrode are in communication with a signal receiver. Physiological parameters, such as those associated with electrocardiograms, can be obtained using the monitoring device.
