    electrodes carried by said mounting element;

    adhesive means carried by said mounting element for causing a substantially one-time adherence of the mounting element to the skin of a patent with the electrodes in electrical-signal-receiving contact with said patient;

    a wireless transmitter carried by said mounting element connected to said electrodes for transmitting a signal corresponding to physiological information picked up by said electrodes;

    battery means carried by said mounting element for self-powered operating of said device; and

    means carried by the device for maintaining the device inoperative prior to a desired use and irreversibly manually operable to cause the transmitter to be placed in a one-time energized operative condition, the elements of the device being miniaturized to provide a low cost construction suitable economically to permit disposal of the device upon completion of a one-time use thereof.
