1. A method for addressing medical conditions through a wearable health monitor with the aid of a digital computer, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a patient with a wearable health monitor comprising a disposable extended wear electrode patch and a monitor recorder, the electrode patch comprising a flexible backing and a plurality of electrocardiographic electrodes comprised on the contact surface of each end of the flexible backing, a non-conductive receptacle affixed to a non-contacting surface of the flexible backing, and a pair of flexible circuit traces affixed at each end of the flexible backing with each circuit trace connecting one of the electrocardiographic electrodes to an electro mechanical docking interface, the monitor recorder comprising a sealed housing adapted to be removably secured into the non-conductive receptacle and electronic circuitry comprising a memory and comprised within the sealed housing including an external interface configured to be removably connected to the electrocardiographic electrodes via the electro mechanical docking interface;

    sensing the patient'"'"'s physiology through the disposable extended wear electrode patch over a monitoring period and recording the physiology throughout the monitoring period into the memory onboard the wearable health monitor;

    downloading the physiology into a computer upon completion of the monitoring period and comparing the physiology to a medical diagnostic criteria;

    generating with the computer a diagnostic overread that comprises one or more diagnostic findings;

    determining with the computer the severity of any medical condition indicated by the diagnostic findings; and

    referring the patient to one or more pre-identified care providers via the computer for facilitated diagnosis as conditioned upon the severity of each such medical condition that exceeds a threshold tolerance level.
