An electrocardiography patch is provided. A backing includes an elongated strip with a midsection connecting two rounded ends. The midsection tapers in from each end and is narrower than each of the two ends. An electrode is positioned on each end of the backing on a contact surface to capture electrocardiographic signals. A circuit trace electrically is coupled to each of the electrodes in the pair. A battery is provided on an outer surface of the backing opposite the contact surface. Memory is provided on the outer surface of the backing to store data regarding the electrocardiographic signals. A processor is powered by the battery to write the data into the memory.
