Abstract
As may be implemented in accordance with one or more aspects depicted herein, an apparatus and/or method involves monitoring heart rhythm of a patient utilizing a housing having amplifying circuitry and digitizing circuitry configured to amplify and digitize ECG signals. Two or more legs protrude from the housing, each configured to provide an electrical connection from an ECG electrode to the amplifying circuitry. Computing circuitry processes the digitized ECG signals, communication circuitry communicates data corresponding to the ECG signals, and data storage circuitry stores data corresponding to the ECG signals. A charge storage circuit provides power to the circuitry, computing circuitry, and communication circuitry. The legs mechanically connect to skin electrodes and to support the weight of the housing and its contents in response to the skin electrodes being adhesively secured to skin.
