1. A waterproof wearable physiological monitoring device, the device comprising:
a first part, the first part including:
a plurality of pads, each pad of the plurality of pads formed of a first material having a first melt temperature, and
a plurality of plates, each affixed to a first surface of one of the plurality of pads, each of the plurality of plates including at least one anchor formed along a perimeter of one of the plurality of plates and projecting from the perimeter at a first angle such that the at least one anchor is disposed above the first surface of its respective pad;
a second part, wherein:
the second part includes a first support structure formed substantially of a second material having a second melt temperature that is lower than the first melt temperature, and
the first support structure includes one or more openings for each of the plurality of pads such that a second surface of each pad that opposes the first surface is exposed along an exterior surface of the device and the first surface of each pad is contained within an interior of the device; and
a third part, wherein:
the third part includes a second support structure formed substantially of a third material having a third melt temperature that is lower than the first melt temperature,
the second support structure is chemically bonded to the first support structure of the second part, and
the second support structure encloses at least a portion of each anchor on the plurality of plates,
whereby the second support structure mechanically maintains a fixed relationship between the first part that has anchors enclosed by the second support structure and the second part that is chemically bonded to the second support structure.
