Patient worn sensor assembly
First Claim
1. A patient monitoring device for use with an electrode assembly configured to be applied to the skin of a patient, the device comprising:
- an electronics assembly having one or more extending contacts, each of the one or more extending contacts configured to releasably couple to an electrode of the electrode assembly; and
one or more stabilizing boots, each of the one or more stabilizing boots encircling one of the one or more extending contacts;
wherein each of the one or more stabilizing boots is configured to allow for a greater degree of movement in a Z-axis direction than in X-axis and Y-axis directions of the electronics assembly relative to the patient.

Abstract
A patient worn sensor assembly for detecting, recording, and communicating patient vital signs includes several structural features that can provide increased signal quality, reduction in signal noise, increased patient comfort, increased reliability, and increased adhesion to a patient'"'"'s skin. The patient worn sensor can track vital sign information such as blood pressure, body temperature, respiratory rate, blood oxygenation, heart rhythm (via ECG), heart rate, blood glucose level, and hydration (bio-impedance) levels. The sensor can also track and record additional information about patients, including patient movement, activity, and sleep patterns.
