Abstract
A wearable sensor and method for providing a wearable sensor are disclosed. In a first aspect, the wearable sensor comprises a first module, wherein the first module comprises a top layer, a printed circuit board (PCB) layer, and a bottom layer. The bottom layer comprises a double adhesive layer that adheres to both the PCB layer and the user. The bottom layer includes at least two openings to house at least two electrodes for monitoring of a user. The wearable sensor further comprises a second module coupled to the first module, wherein the first module is disposable and the second module is reusable. In a second aspect, the method comprises providing the aforementioned wearable sensor.
