Claim 21:
22. A non-transitory computer readable medium for controlling at least one microprocessor operating a electrocardiogram sensor, comprising:
instructions for digitizing a signal from a set of electrodes to create a digital representation of the signal;
instructions for processing the digital representation to determine at least one electrocardiographic feature and periods during which the digital representation of the signal represents artifact;
instructions for analyzing the at least one determined electrocardiographic feature to determine at least heart rate;
instructions for contingently generating information packets having a plurality of different information types, the information packets having a respective information type dependent on at least the determined at least one electrocardiographic feature and the determined periods representing artifact; and
instructions for communicating the information packets, to remain in a non-transmitting state without transmitting information packets for the periods representing artifact, and to enter a transmitting state for transmission of the contingently generated information packets containing valid statistics for at least the heart rate, and subsequently revert to the non-transmitting state after transmission.
