Patent ID: 8849387

Claim:
An article of manufacture, comprising: a monitor unit including, on a single integrated board, motion sensors configured to collect first data, representing orientation and motion of the article, simultaneously in multiple ranges of acceleration, wherein a motion sensor is configured to generate a first output, a physiological sensor enabled to collect second data representing a physiological parameter and generate a second output, a data-logging unit including tangible non-transitory storage medium, a controller in operable communication with said motion sensor and the physiological sensor, the controller configured to receive the first and second outputs and route data associated with at least one of the first and second outputs to said data-logging unit, a clocking device connected to the controller and configured (i) to produce a time stamp that is associated with a) said received at least one of the first and second outputs and b) synchronization data, and that is configured as a reference for time-alignment of data received from multiple sensors, and (ii) to activate said monitor unit without an input from the user; and an electrically-conducting lead electrically connected to a port of the monitor unit.
