Abstract

A cardiac monitoring system includes an externally wearable cardiac monitoring device; at least one cardiac sensing electrode operatively coupled to the device and configured to be disposed in proximity to a patient's skin to monitor cardiac activity of the patient; at least one accelerometer configured to generate signals indicative of patient body movement; and a microcontroller disposed in the device and configured to receive the signals indicative of patient body movement, receive one or more electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of the patient from the at least one cardiac sensing electrode, and analyze the one or more ECG signals received over a period of time to determine at least one cardiac arrhythmia condition of the patient; the device being configured to wirelessly transmit data related to the at least one cardiac arrhythmia condition and the signals indicative of patient body movement recorded over the period of time to a central server.
