Filed:

May 18, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/157435

Inventors:

- Dublin OH, US
Eric A. Eggers - Portland OR, US
Andrew Eggers - Shade OH, US
Benjamin A. Bailey - Athens OH, US

Assignee:

Eggers & Associates, Inc. - Dublin OH

International Classification:

A61B 5/0205
A61B 5/00
A61B 8/06
A61B 5/11
A61B 5/024

Abstract:

The disclosure provides wearable cardiac arrest detection and alerting device that incorporates a non-invasive sensor based on optical and/or electrical signals transmitted into and received from human tissue containing blood vessels, and that transcutaneously quantifies the wearer's heart rate. The heart-rate quantification enables the detection of the absence of any heart beat by the wearable detection and alerting device indicative of the occurrence of a cardiac arrest, wherein the heart is no longer achieving effective blood circulation in the individual wearing the device. The display on the wearable cardiac arrest detection and alerting device may include the elapsed time since the time of detection of a heart rate that is below a predetermine lower limit value, i.e., the detected occurrence of a cardiac arrest event.
