1. A body worn patient monitoring device comprising:

  • at least one disposable module including a plurality of electrical connections, the electrical connections couplable to a skin surface to measure physiological signals, the at least one disposable module including a disposable module connector;

    at least one internal or external power source to power the body worn patient monitoring device; and

    at least one communication-computation module, having a communication-computation module connector to receive physiological signals from the at least one disposable module via said disposable module connector, the communication-computation module including at least one microprocessor to actively monitor the patient and to perform a real-time physiological analysis of the physiological signals and a radio circuit to communicate an unprocessed physiological signal or a result of the physiological analysis at a predetermined time or on the occurrence of a predetermined event, via a radio transmission to a remote radio receiver, wherein the at least one disposable module is mechanically and electrically coupled directly to the at least one communication-computation module and the body worn patient monitoring device including the at least one disposable module and the at least one communication-computation module is directly non-permanently affixed to the skin surface of the patient.
