Abstract

Cet appareil de surveillance physio-cinétique portatif, étanche à l'humidité, autonome, compact et de longue durée (22), est conçu pour être mis en place directement sur le corps d'un athlète ou d'une personne s'adonnant à la culture physique, de préférence au voisinage immédiat de l'organe ou du système à surveiller. Il est dissimulé sous les vêtements et fixé, afin de se maintenir en place, de manière confortable à l'aide de plaquettes cutanées adhésives (24, 30). Au moins trois électrodes positives (32-36) et une électrode négative commune (38) partent de l'appareil de surveillance et sont fixées par des plages de connexion adhésives semblables et jetables, ces électrodes servant à la détection de données physiologiques, par exemple des données électrocardiographiques. L'appareil de surveillance renferme un accéléromètre permettant de détecter les mouvements corporels et de mémoriser les données sur le troisième canal de données électrocardiographiques.
