Claim 15:
16. A system for measuring physiological properties from a patient, comprising:
a C-shaped wrist-receiving portion including a pair of electrodes configured to be disposed on the patient's wrist, wherein a first electrode in the pair of electrodes is configured to inject electrical current into the patient's wrist to induce a bio-electric signal, and wherein a second electrode in the pair of electrodes is configured to sense the bio-electric signal from the patient;
a hand-grip portion including an optical sensor configured to be disposed on the patient's hand, the optical sensor comprising a light source configured to illuminate a portion of the patient's hand with optical radiation, and a photodetector configured to detect the optical radiation after it illuminates the portion of the patient's hand;
a body-contacting portion, disposed along a bottom of the C-shaped wrist-receiving portion, the body-contacting portion including a plurality of electrodes configured to contact the patient's belly; and
a control system, configured to be disposed on the patient's wrist, that electrically connects to both the optical sensor and the pair of electrodes and controls these components during a measurement.
