1. A device comprising two interchangeable and independent coated electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes, wherein the ECG electrodes form a part of the housing of a device, wherein each ECG electrode comprises at least a first sub-electrode and a second sub-electrode;
wherein the first sub-electrode and the second sub-electrode are separately addressable;
wherein the first sub-electrode and the second sub-electrode are separated by an insulating portion of the housing which is not coated;
wherein the device is configured to collect ECG data from both hands of a person when each hand is in contact with one of the two independent coated ECG electrodes; wherein each of the first sub-electrode and the second sub-electrode comprises a coating that is an integral part and present at an exterior of the housing of the device; wherein the coating functions as interchangeable and disposable ECG electrodes; wherein the coated ECG electrodes comprises a plurality of layers, wherein at least a layer of the plurality of the layers comprises silver colloidal metal particles, wherein the silver colloidal metal particles are present in a liquid or a gel,
wherein the device has a provision for a tab to connect an external mouthpiece configured to perform a cardioreflex test; and wherein the device is configured to enable the person to operate the mouthpiece when both the hands of the person are positioned on the two independent coated ECG electrodes.
