1. A device comprising:
- a housing having a dispensing hole that extends through a side wall of the housing;
at least one core enclosed within the housing and disposed along at least a portion of a length of the housing, the at least one core configured to rotate relative to the housing;
a plurality of electrocardiogram (ECG) cables enclosed within the housing and wound around the at least one core enclosed within the housing, each ECG cable of the plurality of ECG cables having a distal end and having a proximal end comprising an electrode pad mechanically coupled to and in contact with the at least one core; and
an electrical connector, accessible at the dispensing hole and attached, at the distal end of each ECG cable, to all of the plurality of ECG cables wound around the at least one core enclosed within the housing and configured to cause the plurality of ECG cables to unwind from the at least one core and emerge from the housing through the dispensing hole in response to the electrical connector being pulled in a direction away from the housing, wherein the electrical connector is configured to connect to a port of a mobile device.

Abstract
A device includes a housing; a core contained within the housing and disposed along at least a portion of the length of the housing, the core configured to rotate relative to the housing; a tab configured to connect to a port of a mobile device; and multiple electrocardiogram (ECG) cables wound around the core. A distal end of each ECG cable is connected to the tab and a proximal end of each ECG cable is connected to at least one of a corresponding ECG electrode and a corresponding pad.

15. A method comprising:
-
pulling an electrical connector accessible at a dispensing hole of a housing, in a direction away from the housing, wherein the dispensing hole extends through a side wall of the housing and further wherein the electrical connector is connected to a plurality of electrocardiogram (ECG) cables wound around at least one core enclosed within the housing and configured to rotate relative to the housing, wherein a proximal end of each ECG cable of the plurality of ECG cables is connected to an ECG electrode mechanically coupled to and in contact with the at least one core and wherein a distal end of each ECG cable of the plurality of ECG cables is attached to the electrical connector; in response to pulling the electrical connector, rotating the at least one core relative to the housing to unwind the plurality of ECG cables from the at least one core such that each electrode decouples from the at least one core and the plurality of ECG cables emerges from the housing through the dispensing hole; positioning at least one ECG electrode on a patient; and connecting the electrical connector to a port on a mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 19, 20, 21)
