Wearable wireless patches containing electrode pair arrays for gastrointestinal electrodiagnostics
First Claim
1. A wearable, non-invasive wireless electrodiagnostic system for profiling gastrointestinal tract muscular activity of a subject, the system comprising:
- an electromyographic-sensing patch adapted for multi-day constant attachment to a skin surface of a midsection of a subject, the patch comprising;
a particularly arranged array comprising a plurality of active bipolar electrode pairs arranged circumferentially around a ground electrode, anda circuit board having a battery and a local electronic device with instructions stored in memory, wherein implementation of the instructions causes the local electronic device to receive signals from the array of bipolar electrode pairs over a period of at least one day, amplify and digitize myoelectric data from the signals, and transmit data to a remote computing device.

Abstract
A system and method for profiling electrical activity in smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract muscular of a patient are disclosed. The system includes electromyographic-sensing patches adapted for placement on the skin of the abdomen of the patient. Each patch has at least one bipolar electrode pair, or a multitude arranged in an array, and is enabled for communication of a signal indicative of a sensed electromyographic signal. The system further includes networked computing devices. The local patch device is configured for wireless communication between the EMG-sensing patches and a local computing device, to enable wireless transmission from the patch to the networked computing devices. The networked computing device is configured to process large aggregate collections of multi-hour or day signals received from the local computing device to yield diagnostically valuable physiological parameters of gastrointestinal smooth muscle electrical activity.
