Abstract
Described are apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems, software), and methods for monitoring the cardiac health of a patient which incorporates secondary information. The apparatus may be a heart rate monitor, a blood pressure monitor, an ECG or other biometric device in communication with an electronic device having communication ability. The devices detect a cardiac or other biometric measurement and correlate the detected information with secondary information, such as GPS data, to produce a contexualized measurement.
