The assembly comprises a part (504) configured to contact with a first surface (506) of a sensor unit (501) comprising the sensor when the sensor unit (501) is mounted in the assembly (500). The assembly (500) also comprises at least one resilient member (508) extending from an outer portion of the part (504) and configured to bias a second surface (510) of the sensor unit (501) against the skin of the subject when the sensor unit (501) is mounted in the assembly (500).
Claims7
An assembly for mounting a sensor on the skin of a subject, the assembly comprising:
- a part configured to contact with a first surface of a sensor unit comprising the sensor when the sensor unit is mounted in the assembly;
- and
- at least one resilient member extending from an outer portion of the part and configured to bias a second surface of the sensor unit against the skin of the subject when the sensor unit is mounted in the assembly;
- wherein the at least one resilient member extends around a perimeter of the outer portion of the part and comprises at least one elongate aperture;
- wherein the at least one elongate aperture is configured to widen when the assembly is attached to the skin of the subject;
- wherein the resilient member comprises a plurality of ribs extending around the perimeter of the outer portion of the part and defining the at least one elongate aperture;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of ribs is coupled along a section of its length to the perimeter of the outer portion of the part to form an H-shaped flexure;
- and
- wherein at least one of the plurality of ribs is, for forming an H-shaped flexure, configured to be attached to at least one other rib that is configured to be attached to the skin of the object.
