1. A remote physiological sensing device, comprising:
- a holder having an open-faced frame for securing an electronics package;
first and second electrodes coupled with the holder, wherein the holder comprises ports into which the first and second electrodes are removably coupled;
the electronics package removably coupled with the holder and in electrical contact with the first and second electrodes via the holder, the electronics package including a housing, a wireless transceiver and electronic circuitry configured to process signals received via the first and second electrodes and the wireless transceiver, the electronics package configured to detect one or more signals output by the holder and the first and second electrodes and verify that at least one of the holder and the first and second electrodes is coupled to the electronics package based at least in part on the detected one or more signals; and
a rechargeable battery included within the electronics package.
