Access Tech has been granted a US patent “Leadless ECG monitoring via electrode switching” for its wearable ECG wristband pair technology. This is the third granted patent in a series of three patent applications that Access Tech has filed pertaining to this technology.

Access Tech’s third US patent application “Leadless ECG monitoring via electrode switching” pertaining to its wearable ECG smart band technology has been allowed by USPTO. Access Tech is currently in the process of paying the issue fee after which this patent will be granted.

Access Tech has been granted a US patent “Leadless ECG monitoring via fusion of DSP and analog signal conditioning techniques” for its wearable ECG wristband pair technology. This is the second granted patent in a series of three patent applications that Access Tech has filed pertaining to this technology.

Access Tech has filed a US provisional patent application “A smart wristband for continuous multiparameter physiological monitoring” for its recently developed wearable wristband multiparameter monitoring technology. This is a low-cost unobtrusive smart wristband equipped with multiple sensors and proprietary algorithms for measuring parameters like heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen.

Access Tech has filed an international PCT application “Leadless electrocardiogram monitor” for its wearable ECG wristband pair technology. This PCT application covers all three US patent applications that Access Tech has filed (2 granted, 1 allowed) pertaining to its wearable ECG smart band technology. The application has been allotted serial number PCT/CA2020/050304 and the priority date is March 06, 2020.

Access Tech’s second US patent application “Leadless ECG monitoring via fusion of DSP and analog signal conditioning techniques” pertaining to its wearable ECG smart band technology has been allowed by USPTO.

Access Tech has been granted a US patent “Leadless electrocardiogram monitor” for its wearable ECG wristband pair technology. This is the first granted patent in a series of three patent applications that Access Tech has filed pertaining to this technology.

Access Tech has filed two new US patent applications (“Leadless ECG monitoring via fusion of DSP and analog signal conditioning techniques” and “Leadless ECG monitoring via electrode switching”) pertaining to its wearable ECG wristband pair technology. These patents essentially protect enhancements to the system architecture whereby fusion of digital signal processing (DSP) and analog signal conditioning techniques along with rapid electrode switching is proposed to enhance the quality of the acquired ECG signal.

Access Tech has embarked on an IRAP-supported R&D project to convert its tabletop multiparameter physiological monitoring prototype into a commercial grade device that will use microcontroller technology and run embedded code. This is a six-month project whereby Access Tech will be hiring external contractors and consultants to develop the desired hardware and software.

Access Tech has filed a US patent application “Leadless electrocardiogram monitor” for its wearable ECG wristband pair technology. The bands are provided with electrodes that contact the skin to measure cardiac activity on either side of the heart. They then share this information wirelessly amongst themselves to continuously acquire and analyze high quality ECG waveform data.

Access Tech has successfully developed the prototype for its tabletop multiparameter physiological monitor. The prototype acquires and analyzes ECG, pulse, and respiration waveform signals, and measures heart rate (HR), breathing rate (BR), HRV, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and blood pressure (BP) by virtue of biosensors like touch electrodes, nasal cannula, brachial cuff, and SpO2 finger clip.

This prototype has been developed by integrating Access Tech’s proprietary biosensors and analog interfaces with National Instruments (NI) myRIO module that runs NI’s LabVIEW software. A custom enclosure has also been designed and developed for this prototype. The prototype runs on a 12V rechargeable battery and streams all physiological data wirelessly to a laptop running a graphical user interface (GUI).

Access Tech and Stratford Managers successfully completed an IRAP-supported market research project that investigated the business potential for Access Tech’s tabletop monitor in Canada. Stratford Managers delivered a detailed business plan and report that projects a total revenue of about $80 M over five years for Access Tech’s tabletop monitor.
