Abstract
Physiological signals such as ECG signals are obtained from a patient. In accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus, system and/or method is directed to at least two ECG sensing electrodes that adhere to remote locations on a patient and sense ECG signals from the patient. An amplifier circuit amplifies the sensed ECG signals to provide amplified ECG signals, and a digitizing circuit digitizes the amplified ECG. A computing circuit processes the digitized ECG signals (e.g., by removing noise). A battery powers the aforesaid circuits, and a housing houses the battery and aforesaid circuit. A fastener mechanically fastens and electrically couples the housing to one of the electrodes, and the other electrodes are coupled to the amplifier via a flexible insulated lead wire.
