Abstract
A health monitoring device includes a sensor configured to be worn by an individual on a portion of the lower leg such as a foot, ankle, or a portion of the leg just above the ankle. The health monitoring device is configured to track expansion of the body appendage over time, thereby allowing a healthcare professional to see changes in the diameter that may be caused by the pooling of body fluids.

16. A health monitor, comprising:
-
a sensor, the sensor being attached to a substrate material, the substrate material being configured to allow for expansion and contraction whereby the sensor is configured to detect an expansion or contraction of the substrate material, the sensor and the substrate material further being sized and configured to be attached to an appendage of a person, whereby expansion or contraction of the appendage of the person causes corresponding expansion or contraction of the substrate material when the substrate material is attached to the appendage; a processor carried by the substrate material and in communication with the sensor; a memory carried by the substrate material and containing stored programming instructions, the programming instructions operable by the processor to cause the memory to store data received from the sensor. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
