1. A portable, pediatric vital signs sensing device comprising:
- a sensor module that connects to a banding system and to an communication system to support an operation of the pediatric vital signs sensing device,wherein the banding system includes a contact surface to make contact at with a wearer'"'"'s body to relay bio-electrical signals to the sensor module; and
wherein the sensor module comprises at least one of an accelerometer, a temperature sensor, a respiratory rate sensor, a galvanic skin sensor, a heart rate sensor, a pulse oximeter sensor, a battery state sensor, a communicating module, and a transmitting module.

Abstract
A hand-held pediatric medical diagnostic device includes a sensor module adapted to detect one or more corresponding medical conditions of a wearer. A banding system adapted to collect bio-electrical signals from the wearer'"'"'s body and relay them to the sensor module. A gel material at least partially coats a contact surface of the banding system. The area of the contact surface and the weight associated therewith are selected to substantially stabilize the sensor module during use. In one version, the pediatric device comprises a pediatric respiratory rate sensing device in which an accelerometer is connected to a portable, rechargeable power source.
