Abstract

Medical data acquisition systems and methods for monitoring and diagnosis are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system may include one or more electrodes configured to detect biological data and to convert the detected biological data into a signal. The system may also include a monitor recorder configured to receive the signal and store the detected biological data. Further, the system may include a transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate the biological data.

Claims
