 1 Body Gateway device description

The Body Gateway (BGW) Devices is a wearable electronic, battery operated device that is worn on the
chest for the acquisition, recording and transmission of physiological parameters to external devices which
can analyze or forward the data to additional storage elements or system.

The BGW device is also capable to record symptomatic and asymptomatic events and is indicated for
ambulatory monitoring of non lethal cardiac arrhythmias.

Additionally, resident in the Body Gateway device is a heart rate, respiration rate and activity level
calculation algorithm, which allows the system to manage information messages from/to the Server
according to specific settings defined by the physicians/operators.

The device is a part of a Multi-parameter Analysis System, Body Gateway System (BGW system) and
communicates via a BT radio link with the external device. Specification of BGW System is beyond the
scope of this document.

At its heart is a 32-bit ARM Cortex microcontroller with 768 kByte Flash, chosen for its flexible architecture
and low power processing capability. Bluetooth radio was selected for connectivity because its availability in
most commercial mobile phones ensures proper coverage and patient access.




                                                                                                         3/12

3 Embedded SW Framework


3.1 Connectivity:

              Bluetooth Radio class 2
              BT supported profiles: SPP
              Point to point link to a PC or to any BT enabled device, supporting SPP service, both as a
              client and as a server
              Proprietary data exchange protocol on top of SPP designed to optimize power
              consumption minimizing packets overhead.



3.2 Embedded Data Aggregator


3.2.1 ECG: extraction of

              · Heart rate
              · RR peak variability
              · Heart Rate variability
              · Electrode detachment alert


3.2.2 Bio-impedance: extraction of

              · Breathing rate


3.2.3 Accelerometer: extraction of

              · Activity level index
              · Body posture


      Baselines and thresholds are programmable for 3.2.1., 3.2.2., 3.2.3. with hysteresis to avoid false
      alerts.




                                                                                                      5/12

 4 Operating modes:

Platform can operate in 4 modes:

       a)   Power down mode : BGW device is completely switched off

       b)   Idle mode: the BGW device is visible and connectable to the remote unit through the BT link

       c)   Streaming Mode: is when the Body Gateway is powered ON and sampling the data as specified in
            the Configuration Settings, sending them directly to the External Device with periodicity specified by
            the last configuration commands received from the External Device.

       d)   Monitoring mode: is when the Body Gateway is powered ON, gathering and storing in the internal
            memory data at the frequency specified in the Configuration Settings, and sending the data as
            requested by the Associated Device.
