Wearable apparatus for ECG signal acquisition

This invention describes a wearable device designed to measure a user's heart activity (ECG). It can operate in two distinct ways: either using electrodes integrated directly into the main device for quick, episodic checks, or by connecting to separate, external electrode patches for continuous monitoring. The device intelligently switches between these two modes based on the user's motion, processes the heart data, and then sends it to another device, like a smartphone, for further analysis, potentially to identify health conditions or even the user.
