Abstract
The present invention pertains to a monitor that includes a cardiac sensor (36) responsive to a user's heart beat. The monitor includes a processor coupled to the sensor for generating heart-rate or other cardiac data. These data can be stored in a memory. The monitor is physically supported by and receives electrical signals from a single ECG electrode, and is coupled by an electrical lead to a second ECG electrode.

1-22. (canceled)
A monitor for monitoring a user's heart, comprising:
- a support means for securing the monitor in position for sensing the user's heart beat, the support means being for attachment to a single adhesive electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode both to support the monitor and for receiving electrical signals from the ECG electrode;
- a means for electrically coupling the monitor to a second ECG electrode for receiving signals therefrom;
- a cardiac sensor for receiving signals from the ECG electrodes;
- and
- a processor coupled to the cardiac sensor for generating cardiac data.
