Abstract

Embodiments of a wearable device are provided. The wearable device comprises a reusable component and a disposable component. The disposable component comprises a patient engagement substrate comprising adhesive on a bottom side, an electrode on the bottom side, a disposable component electrical connector, and a disposable component mechanical connector. The reusable component comprises a plurality of sealed housings mechanically coupled to each other and movable with respect to each other, each of the plurality of housings containing one or more of a capacitor and a controller, a reusable component mechanical connector adapted to removably connect to the disposable component mechanical connector, and a reusable component electrical connector adapted to removably connect to the disposable component electrical connector. The device can comprise a cardiopulmonary physiologic monitor or an automatic external defibrillator, among other types of devices.

Claims (24)

1. A method of using a wearable device, the wearable device comprising a first disposable component and a reusable component, the first disposable component comprising a patient engagement substrate comprising adhesive and an electrode on a bottom side, a disposable component electrical connector, and a disposable component mechanical connector separate from the disposable component electrical connector, the reusable component comprising a plurality of sealed housings mechanically and electrically coupled to the disposable component, a reusable component mechanical connector adapted to removably connect to the disposable component mechanical connector to provide a load-bearing mechanical attachment between a bottom side of the reusable component and a top side of the disposable component such that the disposable component is able to mechanically support and removably retain the weight of the reusable component on a patient at least partially through the mechanical connector, and a reusable component electrical connector separate from the reusable component mechanical connector and adapted to removably connect to the disposable component electrical connector, each of the plurality of housings containing one or more of a capacitor, batteries, or a controller, wherein the disposable component mechanical connector and the reusable component mechanical connector are configured to allow the reusable component and the disposable component to move relative to one another while still maintaining a mechanical connection, the method comprising:

adhering the wearable device to a skin surface portion of a patient for a first time period;

monitoring patient ECG signals with the controller and the electrode during the first time period;

removing the wearable device from the skin surface portion of the patient at the end of the first time period;

mechanically and electrically disconnecting the disposable component from the reusable component;

mechanically and electrically connecting to the reusable component a second disposable component comprising a patient engagement substrate comprising adhesive and electrodes on a bottom side;

applying the second disposable component to a skin portion of the patient; and

monitoring patient ECG signals using the controller and the electrode of the second disposable component.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the disposable component further comprises a battery disposed in a battery housing, the method further comprising electrically disconnecting the battery from the reusable component and connecting a replacement battery to the reusable connection.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the step of electrically disconnecting the battery from the reusable component is performed after the step of removing the wearable device from the skin surface portion of the patient.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein the replacement battery is disposed in a replacement battery housing, the method further comprising mechanically connecting the replacement battery housing to the reusable component.

5. The method of claim 2 further comprising providing an alarm if the battery or a replacement battery is not connected to the reusable component.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the reusable component comprises a rechargeable battery, the method further comprising recharging the rechargeable battery.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein mechanically and electrically disconnecting the disposable component from the reusable component comprises bending the patient engagement substrate.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein mechanically and electrically disconnecting the disposable component from the reusable component comprises breaking a structural element.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein mechanically and electrically disconnecting the disposable component from the reusable component comprises operating a release mechanism.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the release mechanism comprises a release latch.

11. The method of claim 9 wherein the release mechanism comprises a squeeze buckle.

12. The method of claim 9 wherein the release mechanism comprises a push button.

13. The method of claim 1 further comprising using an alignment tool to align the second disposable component with the reusable component prior to mechanically and electrically connecting the reusable component to the second disposable component.

14. The method of claim 1 further comprising preventing electrical disconnection of the disposable component from the reusable component before mechanical disconnection of the disposable component from the reusable component.

15. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing an indication of mechanical connection between the disposable component and the reusable component.

16. The method of claim 1 wherein the wearable device comprises a cardiopulmonary physiologic monitor.

17. The method of claim 1 wherein the wearable device comprises an automatic external defibrillator.
