摘要：
A method and apparatus for remotely monitoring the health of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: using a remotely located data collection device, prompting a remotely located user to place each of a plurality of electrodes connected to the data collection device in predetermined locations on the user's body； causing the data collection device to read electrical data from the patient's body using the electrodes, transmitting the electrical data to a central location； and evaluating the electrical data at the central location to make a determination as to the health of the patient. The electrical data may correspond to ECG data (also known as EKG). The remote unit is preferably a handheld unit with electrodes built into the surface of the device. Thus, by merely grasping the device in a predetermined way, a remote users ECG is taken and transmitted to a medical facility, allowing for effective monitoring of such patients.
