1. A physiological monitoring device configured to monitor cardiac rhythm data of a patient, the physiological monitoring device comprising:
a spring contact configured to electrically couple a battery to a circuit board assembly housed within a first housing portion;
a flexible substrate coupled to a second housing portion, wherein the flexible substrate comprises a first layer and a second layer, and wherein the first layer extends beyond the second layer creating an edge to the flexible substrate that is thinner than an inner portion of the flexible substrate;
an electrode coupled to the flexible substrate and configured to detect physiological signals of the patient to obtain the cardiac rhythm data;
a support post configured such that force from interaction with a trigger is transmitted to the support post; and
a flexible electrode trace coupled to the flexible substrate and configured to electrically couple the electrode to the circuit board assembly, wherein at least a portion of the flexible electrode trace is in electrical contact with a second spring contact, and wherein the second spring contact is further configured to electrically couple the flexible electrode trace to the circuit board assembly.
