Programmable ECG sensor patch

This is a disposable, self-sticking patch that monitors a person's heart activity by picking up electrical signals from their skin. It runs on a battery and is specifically designed to detect risk patterns by measuring and comparing the baseline of an ECG segment to a prior one, indicating when such a pattern occurs.

Why it matters: Filed before low-power microcontrollers and wireless communication became ubiquitous. The specific ECG analysis and programmability are now feasible for a disposable, battery-powered device.
