1. A body associated device, comprising:

  • a housing;

    an adhesive layer configured to be applied to a body of a living subject;

    at least two standoffs located between the housing and the adhesive layer and comprising at least two attachment points between the housing and the adhesive, wherein an attachment area is defined by the shape of the at least two standoffs, wherein the at least two standoffs define a uniform height;

    an electronic module located within the housing and comprising at least one electrode and a transceiver coupled to an antenna, wherein the transceiver and antenna enable wireless communication between the electronic module and local/remote nodes external to the body of the living subject; and

    wherein the wireless communication is communication associated with data generated from a first device within the body; and

    wherein the electronic module is configured to receive a conductive communication from the first device within the body via the at least one electrode; and

    wherein one of the at least two standoffs defines at least one inner aperture configured to receive an electrode hydrogel therein; and

    wherein the electrode hydrogel is located in the at least one inner aperture defined by the one of the at least two standoffs, wherein the electrode hydrogel is electrically coupled to the electronic module, and wherein the at least one electrode is coupled to the body via the electrode hydrogel located in the at least one inner aperture defined by the one of the at least two standoffs.
