1. Apparatus comprising:
- a first contact device that includes an N plurality of substantially disjoint sensors, which device is constructed to be held in close proximity with a preselected portion of an individual'"'"'s skin, and said sensors constructed to electronically couple to specific locations on said skin when said first contract device is in said close proximity;
a second contact device that is constructed to electronically couple to a chosen location on said individual'"'"'s skin; and
a measurement device that computes frequency spectrum of measurements, relative said second contact device, obtained from each of said sensors.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for obtaining data relevant to the state of health of an individual by measuring the signal spectra at various points on the individual'"'"'s body. Illustratively, the measurements are at points on the individual'"'"'s hand, implemented with a glove that includes numerous electrical point contacts.

3. Apparatus comprising:
-
a first contact device that includes an N plurality of substantially separate sensors, which device is constructed to be held in close proximity with a preselected portion of an individual'"'"'s skin, and said sensors constructed to electronically couple to specific locations on said skin when said first contract device is in said close proximity; a second contact device constructed to electronically couple to a location on said individual'"'"'s skin; a generator for applying a signal that includes a K plurality of frequencies between each of the sensors and said electrical contact element; and a measurement device that concurrently determines responses to said signal between each of said sensors of said second contact device.

4. An arrangement comprising:
-
a first contact device configured to be held in close proximity with skin of an individual'"'"'s body part taken from a set that includes a palm, a leg, a chest, a head, and a back, which device has an N plurality of substantially separate sensors that are constructed to electronically couple to specific locations on said skin of said body part when said first contract device is in said close proximity; a second contact device that is constructed to electronically couple to a location on said individual'"'"'s skin; and a measurement device that concurrently determines responses to said signal between each of said sensors of said second contact device.
