1. An electrocardiogram (ECG) device configured to transmit at least one signal responsive to a wearer's cardiac electrical activity, the ECG device comprising:
a disposable portion comprising:
a base configured for placement on the wearer's body, wherein the base comprises at least one mechanical connector portion;
a plurality of cables extending from the base and corresponding external ECG electrodes, said external ECG electrodes configured to be secured to the wearer's body and output one or more signals responsive to the wearer's cardiac electrical activity; and
a first plurality of electrical connectors, each of at least some of the first plurality of electrical connectors associated with one of the plurality of cables; and
a reusable portion configured to mechanically and electrically mate with the disposable portion, the reusable portion comprising:
a cover comprising at least one mechanical connector portion configured to removably secure to the at least one mechanical connector portion of the base of the disposable portion;
a second plurality of electrical connectors, each of the second plurality of electrical connectors configured to electrically connect with one of the first plurality of electrical connectors of the disposable portion;
an output connector port configured to transmit at least one signal responsive to said one or more signals outputted by the external ECG electrodes of the disposable portion;
a processor;
a first temperature sensor for measuring temperature via skin of the wearer and a second temperature sensor for measuring ambient temperature at least one of inside and outside an interior of the reusable portion, wherein said first and second temperature sensors are spaced apart from one another and not in contact with the wearer's skin when the reusable portion is mated with the disposable portion and the disposable portion is placed on the wearer's body; and
a temperature sensor housing comprising a thermally conductive material extending beyond a bottom portion of the reusable portion, said first temperature sensor positioned within said temperature sensor housing,
wherein the processor is configured to determine body temperature of the wearer based on signals received from both of the first and second temperature sensors.
