Wearable electrocardiography and physiology monitoring ensemble
First Claim
1. A wearable electrocardiography monitoring ensemble, comprising:
- a garment comprised of a compressible and elastomeric material and wearable about an upper region of a torso, the garment further comprising an internal structure forming a compressive bias circumferential to the torso;
an electrode assembly provided on an inside surface of the garment on an underside of the internal structure, comprising;
a pair of electrocardiography electrodes;
a pair of terminated electrical connections that are each coupled to one of the electrocardiography electrodes; and
a backing to which the electrocardiography electrodes are affixed; and
a receptacle adapted to removably receive a monitor recorder and comprising a set of electrical pads formed on a bottom surface, a pair of the electrical pads into which each of the terminated electrical connections are coupled and further comprising a battery compartment formed on the bottom surface from which a pair of battery leads extend to another pair of the electrical pads electrically interfacing a battery to the monitor recorder,wherein the monitor recorder comprises electrical contacts that protrude from a bottom surface and is configured to establish electrical connections to the pair of electrocardiography electrodes in the garment by interfacing to at least a portion of the remaining electrical pads in the set on the receptacle via the electrical contacts upon receipt into the receptacle.

Abstract
A wearable electrocardiography monitoring ensemble is provided, which includes a garment made of a compressible and elastomeric material. The garment is wearable about an upper region of the torso and further includes an internal structure forming a compressive bias circumferential to the torso. The ensemble also includes an electrode assembly provided on an inside surface of the garment on an underside of the internal structure. The electrode assembly has a pair of electrocardiography electrodes, a pair of terminated electrical connections that are each coupled to one of the electrocardiography electrodes, and a backing to which the electrocardiography electrodes are affixed. The wearable monitoring ensemble creates a more natural experience for wearers and can be used to produce an expanded dataset for diagnosis because the ensemble can collect data during activities of daily living and can capture cardiovascular events outside of clinical observation, which is otherwise not practicable, especially for athletes.
