Abstract

A wireless biopotential monitoring system composed of a wireless electrode module which can be attached to a disposable electrode strip. Such a device can be conveniently affixed to a patient's skin and will transmit the physiological signals to a remote receiver where the signals can be monitored by a clinician. The device is powered by a fuel-air battery. The device would remain packaged in an airtight package until it needs to be applied at which time either the wounded soldier would apply the device himself/herself or it would be applied by another soldier or corpsman. The device would begin to measure brainwave activity, heart rate, and dissolved oxygen level. The device would also identify the wounded soldier's location using the onboard GPS receiver. The physiologic data along with the soldier's position would then be transmitted to a remote receiver.
