1. A method for forming a component of a wearable monitor for a subject, comprising:
- using a first roll of material, forming a first component layer that incorporates a first circuit component;
using a second roll of material, forming a second component layer that incorporates a second circuit component;
adhering a flexible, conductive adhesive film to the first circuit component; and
electrically connecting the first circuit component to the second circuit component via the flexible, conductive adhesive film disposed between the first and second component layers so as to establish a conductive path for carrying a signal indicative of a monitored characteristic of the subject between the first circuit component and the second circuit component of the wearable monitor via the flexible, conductive adhesive film.

Abstract
A health-monitor patch comprising at least one physiological sensor and digital processor is configured to be adhered to the skin of a subject. A health-monitor patch may further include an accelerometer and may detect cardiac waveforms, activity performed by the subject, and a body orientation of the subject. A health-monitor patch may be disposable, in some embodiments, and used for outpatient monitoring. Aspects of noise cancellation and reel-to-reel manufacturing are also described.

6. A method for forming a component of a wearable monitor for a subject, comprising:
-
providing a first component layer that incorporates a first circuit component; adhering a flexible, conductive adhesive film to the first circuit component so as to establish a conductive path for carrying a signal indicative of a monitored characteristic of the subject between the first circuit component and a second circuit component of the wearable monitor via the flexible, conductive adhesive film; and incorporating the first component layer and the flexible, conductive adhesive film into an electrode strip that is releasably attachable to another component of the wearable monitor that includes a processor configured to process the signal to evaluate the monitored characteristic of the subject, wherein; the electrode strip comprises first and second adhesion surfaces on opposing faces of the electrode strip and first and second release liners releasably attached to the first and second adhesion surfaces, respectively; and the first circuit component comprises an electrode that is exposed at the first adhesion surface when the first release liner is removed from the first adhesion surface. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
