The invention relates to methods and devices for remote or distributed continuous monitoring of physiologically relevant states. An ACDC protection circuit coupled to an ACDC power line is able to receive an AC or DC power. The method also includes receiving, by the mobile network device, a succession of one time passwords generated by the server throughout a session. These first and second signals are synthesized, and the local oscillator signal either having the frequency derived from adding the second frequency to the first frequency, or having the frequency derived from subtracting the second frequency from the first frequency is generated. The electronic device may further include a wake up mode circuit. The monitor casing is made up of a first casing in which there exists the first pivot and a second casing which is joined to the first casing such that it swings about the second pivot.
