ECG monitoring system and method

A method of ECG monitoring, the method comprising:

• providing two or more active electrodes to be placed on a patient, each active electrode having an electrode pad to sense physiological signals from the patient, a common connection port, a signal processing module, and a wireless transmitter;
• providing a common connector that connects to the common connector port of each of the two or more active electrodes to create a comparator signal to each of the active electrodes;
• in each of the active electrodes,
• generating, with the signal processing module, a cardiac signal based on the physiological potentials sensed at the electrode pad and the comparator signal;
• wirelessly transmitting the cardiac signal with the wireless transmitter;
• receiving the cardiac signal from each of the two or more active electrodes;
• and
• generating one or more ECG waveforms based on the cardiac signals.
