1. An apparatus for obtaining consistent medical diagnostic measurements, comprising:
- a housing that is configured to be secured to or held against a patient;
memory to store one or more measured orientations of the housing;
a sensor configured to detect an orientation of the housing; and
a controller operably coupled to the sensor and the memory and configured to;
receive, from the sensor, a measured orientation of the housing;
compare the measured orientation of the housing to a previously measured orientation stored in the memory in association with a previous reading from a strain sensor associated with the patient; and
provide audible or visible output in response to a determination, based on the comparison, that the measured orientation is within a predetermined range of the previously measured orientation.
