Claim:
1. An ECG device comprising: a computing device comprising a display; an electrode assembly configured to sense heart-related signals upon contact with a user's skin, and to convert the sensed heart-related signals to an ECG signal; and a converter assembly integrated with, and electrically connected to the electrode assembly, the converter assembly configured to convert the ECG signal generated by the electrode assembly to a frequency modulated ECG audio signal having a carrier frequency in the range of from about 6 kHz to about 20 kHz; a transmitter configured to transmit the frequency modulated ECG audio signal having a carrier frequency in the range of from about 6 kHz to about 20 kHz to the computing device; a housing containing the electrode assembly, the converter assembly, and the transmitter, and configured to couple the electrode assembly, the converter assembly, and the transmitter to a surface of the computing device; and wherein the computing device is configured to receive the frequency modulated ECG audio signal having a carrier frequency in the range of from about 6 kHz to about 20 kHz and display an ECG signal on the display.
