Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for measuring and monitoring biometric or physiological parameters in a user-friendly and convenient manner are disclosed. Relevant physiological parameters of the user may be measured as the user normally operates a computing device or other hand-operated or hand-held device. These parameters are measured using an accessory of the device such as a laptop case, a tablet computer case, a smartphone case, or a smart watch or smart armband. The accessory may include at least two or three electrodes for taking an electrocardiogram or other physiological parameters. The measured parameters are transmitted to the computing device. The computing device can be normally used while a physiological parameter monitoring and measurement application loaded onto the computing device operates in the background to receive the measured parameters.
