Claim 0:
1. An electrocardiography monitoring system, comprising:
a flexible backing formed of an elongated strip of stretchable material and comprising two ends, one end on each side of a midsection that is narrower than the ends;
an electrocardiographic electrode respectively affixed to and conductively exposed on a contact surface of each end of the flexible backing and configured to facilitate monitoring of electrocardiographic signals;
a flexible circuit affixed on each end to the flexible backing and comprising a pair of circuit traces each originating within one of the ends of the flexible backing and electrically coupled to one of the electrocardiographic electrodes;
at least one physiological sensor provided on the flexible backing;
memory on the flexible backing programmed with one or more sampling rates to each instruct one of the physiological sensors to obtain readings of physiological data separate from the monitoring of the electrocardiographic signals by the electrocardiographic electrodes and programmed with a duration of the sample;
a monitor, comprising:
a housing adjacently positioned to a surface of the flexible backing opposite the contact surface and comprising storage to receive the readings from one or more of the physiological sensors based the sampling rates and to receive readings based on a sensed event occurring outside the sampling rates; and
a micro-controller configured to embed data from the readings of the at least one physiological sensor into the electrocardiographic signals;

an adhesive provided only on the contact surface of each of the ends of the flexible backing, wherein the adhesive covers each of the ends of the flexible backing, leaving the narrow midsection between the ends free of the adhesive; and
a battery positioned on one end of the flexible backing to provide power to one or more of the physiological sensors and located on a surface of the flexible backing opposite the contact surface and under a bottom surface of the monitor.
