1. A remote physiological sensing device, comprising:
- a patch having first and second conductive traces for carrying signals from respective first and second signal input junctions of the patch to respective first and second signal output junctions of the patch, the patch also having a grounding conductor for receiving a ground signal without a corresponding conductive trace in the patch, the patch further including first and second electrodes coupled, respectively, with the first and second signal input junctions of the patch, wherein the patch is stretchable and is configured to determine one or more of a distance between the first and second electrodes or a relative position of the first and second electrodes based at least in part on the stretching; and
an electronics package removably coupled with the patch and in electrical contact with the first and second signal output junctions of the patch and the grounding conductor, 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.
