A wireless body sensor device includes a number of small probes that are arranged about a wireless electronics system. The wireless electronics system can process bio-potential signals from the probes and communicate bio-potential data to another device such as a wireless telephone, wrist watch, personal data assistant (PDA), laptop computer or any other appropriate device. By forming the probes within a confined short range of the wireless electronics system, interference and noise is greatly reduced. The wireless electronics system includes signal amplifiers that increase the signal levels associated with the bio-potential probes so that the signals can be converted to bio-potential data through an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) process. Once the bio-potential data is in digital form, the data can be processed by a digital signal processor (DSP), encoded into a signal transmission, and communicated to another device with a radio system and its corresponding antenna.
