Abstract

Provided are a wearable physiological signal detection module and a measurement apparatus having the same. A physiological signal detection module including a measuring electrode implemented by a dry electrode having good conductivity to detect various physiological signals is detachably disposed inside the clothing closely adhered to user's skin. The measuring electrode can be in stable contact with the user's skin as well as the detection module can be conveniently worn for a long time. The various physiological signals detected by the measuring electrodes are wirelessly transmitted to an external device, thereby conveniently monitoring the physiological signal of the user in real time.

Dependent claims

A wearable physiological signal measuring apparatus comprising:

a clothing having flexibility to be closely adhered to user's skin;
at least one physiological signal detection module detachably disposed inside the clothing comprising:
at least one measuring electrode adapted to closely adhere to the skin for detecting various physiological signals of the user;
a body having a space portion with an open end for containing the at least one measuring electrode and a given passing-through hole at one face for exposing a part of the at least one measuring electrode;
and
a supporting member provided in the space portion of the body to support the at least one measuring electrode;
and
a physiological signal measuring module electrically connected with the at least one measuring electrode to convert the various physiological signals into digital physiological signals and to process the digital physiological signals to obtain various physiological information data.
