Abstract
A device for monitoring health information. The device comprises a material capable of being worn on a person'"'"'s body, an optical generator, an optical sensor, a processor, and an interface for communicating with an external device. The device may also include two EKG sensors. The device non-invasively monitors a variety of health characteristics and transmits the health data to a base station such as a smartphone. The base station includes a software application that can display, store, and analyze the user'"'"'s health data. The user may review his health information on the base station'"'"'s display. In an alternative embodiment, the base station transmits the health data to a secure remote server. The user may review his health information on a website associated with the remote server.
