Claim Text:
1. A body-worn physiological data processing system, comprising: (a) a housing supporting electronic circuitry, the housing providing a waterproof enclosure for the electronic circuitry meeting IEC 60529-2004 IPX7 standards, the electronic circuitry comprising: a processor configured to receive data from, and export data to, one or more peripheral devices external to the housing, and to use data received from one or more of the peripheral device(s) in deriving a measurement of at least one physiological property of the wearer, a display operably connected to the processor to display data received by the processor from one or more of the peripheral device(s), or a processed form thereof, a power supply operably connected to the processor and display, one or more electrical contacts proximate to one or more openings in the housing and operably connected to the processor to provide one or more connections through which the processor receives data from, and exports data to, the one or more peripheral devices; (b) a base configured to releasably receive the housing, wherein when the housing is inserted into the base, one or more interface cavities are formed between the base and the housing, wherein each interface cavity is adapted to releasably receive a connector on a data cable connected to a peripheral device, thereby establishing an operable connection between the peripheral device and the processor through the data cable, wherein insertion of the connector on the data cable into the interface cavity interconnects electrical contacts on the connector with corresponding electrical contacts on the housing, and wherein at least one interface cavity comprises a latch mechanism comprising at least one first recess in a wall thereof provided by the base, and at least one second recess in a wall thereof provided by the housing, said first and second recesses configured to receive a portion of the connector when inserted, the insertion of the connector thereby preventing separation of the base from the housing until the connector is removed; (c) a reclosable retaining strap for fixing the data processing system to the wearer.
