Abstract
Wearable (ambulatory) monitors of the present invention have a segmented design, with at least two and preferably three (or more) mechanically independent, spaced apart sensors (e.g., electrodes or other types of physiological sensors) located in discrete islands, or housing structures that are flexibly connected to one another. Each of the sensors is in operable communication with one or more electronics module(s), also located in one or more of the islands. In some embodiments, an electronics module may be centrally located with respect to two or more peripherally located sensors.
