1. A system for obtaining a physiological measurement, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
a first contact area located at a first location in the system;
a second contact area located at a second location in the system, the first contact area electrically isolated from the second contact area; and
a processor in communication with each of the touch-sensitive display, the first contact area, and the second contact area, the processor configured to receive a first physiological parameter from the first contact area and a second physiological parameter from the second contact area when a user simultaneously contacts the first and second contact areas, and to process the received first and second physiological parameters to determine the physiological measurement.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for obtaining a physiological measurement associated with a user using a portable device is disclosed herein. Information displayed on a touch-sensitive display of the portable device specifies the contact area(s) on the portable device for a user to touch. One or more areas on the portable device and/or a detachable device connected to the portable device comprise conductive areas for measuring the resistance or impedance of the user'"'"'s body between those conductive areas.

20. A method for obtaining a physiological measurement, the method comprising:
-
displaying information on a touch-sensitive display, the displayed information including identification of a first location on a portable device to be touched by a user; receiving, in response to the user touching the first location, a first physiological parameter at the first location, the first physiological parameter associated with a physiological property of the user; and generating the physiological measurement using the first physiological parameter. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
