Abstract
A sensing device includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a conductive trace. A micro-controller is attached to the conductive trace and data transmission means is connected to the micro-controller. A sensor is embedded within the PCB and is connected to the micro-controller via the conductive trace. The sensor is configured to sense at least one physiological parameter in a patient.
