Patent Images
1. A health-monitor patch configured to be adhered to the skin of a subject, the health monitor patch comprising:
- a substrate;
two monitor electrodes supported by the substrate and configured to receive two signals from two locations on the skin of the subject;
a processor supported by the substrate and configured to process signals from the two monitor electrodes;
a battery supported by the substrate and connected to supply power to the processor;
a noise electrode supported by the substrate and configured to provide an electrical path from the skin of the subject at a location separate from the two locations; and
a conductive shield connected to the noise electrode and a terminal of the battery, wherein the conductive shield extends over at least portions of two conductors connected between the two monitor electrodes and the processor.

Abstract
A health-monitor patch comprising at least one physiological sensor and digital processor is configured to be adhered to the skin of a subject. A health-monitor patch may further include an accelerometer and may detect cardiac waveforms, activity performed by the subject, and a body orientation of the subject. A health-monitor patch may be disposable, in some embodiments, and used for outpatient monitoring. Aspects of noise cancellation and reel-to-reel manufacturing are also described.
