Abstract
Body electrode system including a set of standalone electrodes units for measuring physiological signals of a body part and/or electrically stimulate a body part. A connecting garment provides electrical connection between each standalone unit of the set. Each unit of the set is individually positionable at a specific chosen position onto the body to be sensed and/or stimulated. The garment is electrically connectable to said units, preferably after placement of said set onto the body.
Claims15
Body electrode system comprising a set of standalone electrodes units for measuring physiological signals of a body part and/or electrically stimulate a body part, a connecting garment providing electrical connection between each standalone unit of the set,
- each unit of the set being individually positionable at a specific chosen position onto the body to be sensed and/or stimulated;
- each unit comprising a face arranged to interact with the skin of the body when the unit is positioned onto the body;
- and
- each unit comprising a conductive part electrically connectable to the garment to electrically connect said units of the set to the garment wherein the conductive part is not in electrical contact with the face;
- such that the garment is electrically connectable to said units independently of the chosen position onto the body of each of the units.
A method to install onto a body and electrically connect a body electrode system comprising a set of standalone electrodes units for measuring physiological signals of a body part and/or electrically stimulate a body part, a connecting garment providing electrical connection between each standalone unit of the set, each unit of the set being individually positionable at a specific chosen position onto the body to be sensed and/or stimulated;
- each unit comprising a face arranged to interact with the skin of the body when the unit is positioned onto the body;
- and each unit comprising a conductive part electrically connectable to the garment to electrically connect said units (2) of the set to the garment;
- wherein the conductive part (9, 15) is not in electrical contact with the face;
- the method comprising the steps of:
- affix individually at least two units of the set of standalone electrode units on the body to be sensed and/or stimulated at specific chosen locations of the body;
- and
- electrically connect the garment of the body electrode system to all affixed standalone units;
- wherein the garment is electrically connected to said units independently of the chosen position onto the body of each of the units.
