a patent needs to be specific enough. It also needs to be a complete system. Vague ideas do not consist of a patentable device. And ideas aren’t patentable anyway. It needs to be a workable device, process, or method. -

These devices have been around for yonks - I know 'cause my a-fib was monitored using one way back in the late 90s.
Prior art is gonna kick this one to the curb.
The doctor will be on the winning end of this suit, likely a massive settlement. -

I could see patenting the technology of how to time it and measure differences or even how to "see" the heart beat itself. But simply timing it and measuring the differences would be like patenting the measurement of a person's height or weight you might patent the tools for doing so (like a scale or ruler) but not the process itself.
