Claim:
1. A device for continuously and wirelessly monitoring a condition of a subject, said device comprising: a plurality of sensors, said sensors being adapted to contact the subject and sense signals indicative of the condition from the subject, the plurality of sensors comprising a non-invasive microelectrode array including a plurality of electrodes; processing circuitry coupled to the sensors, said processing circuitry being adapted to receive and process the sensed signals from the sensors; and a wireless transmission device coupled to receive the processed signals from the processing circuitry, said wireless transmission device being adapted to wirelessly transmit the processed signals to an external device, wherein the plurality of sensors, processing circuitry, and wireless transmission device are formed in a flexible and stretchable polymer based material comprising a plurality of openings through which the plurality of electrodes protrude from an inside of the polymer based material to an outside of the polymer based material, the polymer based material being embedded in a band configured to be worn by the subject and conform to a surface of the subject without causing signal degradation in the plurality of sensors, processing circuitry, and wireless transmission device.
