1. A wearable physiological monitoring device, comprising:
a disposable component comprising:
a first electrode;
a second electrode;
a cradle, comprising:
a battery;
a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact, both the first and second electrical contacts being electrically coupled to the battery;
a third electrical contact electrically coupled to the first electrode;
a fourth electrical contact electrically coupled to the second electrode;
a battery disconnect switch located between the first electrical contact and the battery, said battery disconnect switch comprising:
a first trace electrically coupled to the first electrical contact, said first trace comprising a first free end;
a second trace electrically coupled to the battery, said second trace comprising a second free end, wherein the first free end is electrically isolated from the second free end;
a button comprising a top side in proximity to the first trace and a bottom side in proximity to the second trace; and
a conductive plate located on the bottom side of the button; and
a reusable component configured to be secured to the disposable component, the reusable component comprising:
an electronics module; and
an electrical interface associated with the electronics module and configured to interface with at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth electrical contacts of the disposable component;
wherein the battery is configured to connect to the reusable component by the conductive plate connecting to the first free end of the first trace and the second free end of the second trace when the button is pushed down onto the reusable component.
