1. A conformal cardiac sensor device for analyzing cardiac activity of a user, the conformal cardiac sensor device comprising:

  • at least one flexible substrate configured to couple to the user;

    at least one heart sensor component embedded on or within the at least one flexible substrate, the at least one heart sensor component being configured to directly contact a portion of skin of the user, measure electrical activity indicative of the cardiac activity of the user, and output a signal indicative thereof;

    at least one biometric sensor component embedded on or within the at least one flexible substrate, the at least one biometric sensor component being configured to measure physiological activity indicative of the cardiac activity of the user and output a signal indicative thereof;

    at least one microprocessor embedded on or within the at least one flexible substrate, the at least one microprocessor being communicatively coupled to the at least one heart sensor component and the at least one biometric sensor component and operable to execute microprocessor executable instructions for controlling measurement of the electrical activity and the physiological activity indicative of the cardiac activity of the user;

    at least one wireless communication component embedded on or within the at least one flexible substrate and operable to transmit data indicative of the measurements obtained by the at least one heart sensor component and the at least one biometric sensor component; and

    at least one therapeutic component embedded on or within the at least one flexible substrate, the at least one therapeutic component being configured to provide medicinal treatment to the user based, at least in part, on the measurements obtained by the at least one heart sensor component and the at least one biometric sensor component,wherein the at least one therapeutic component is configured to administer to the user an emollient, a pharmaceutical drug or other drug, a biologic material, or other therapeutic material, or any combination thereof, in response to a detected occurrence of a predetermined triggering event.
