A sensor for use with a biological entity includes a housing and an acoustic transducer disposed within the housing. The acoustic transducer is adapted to detect a biological sound impinging on a surface of the biological entity. The sensor may also include an electrode integral with the sensor. The electrode is adapted to detect an electric potential associated with the surface of the biological entity. A plurality of sensors can be held in a predetermined pattern on the surface of the biological entity using a flexible carrier that provides a plurality of sensor mounting locations. |
