A method for attaching and securing a wearable sensor to an article of clothing, the method comprising:
- providing a sensor clip-on casing having a surface defining an opening;
- providing a sensor configured to be received into the opening of the clip-on casing;
- positioning an article of clothing between the opening of the sensor clip-on casing and the sensor;
- squeezing the sensor into the opening sensor clip-on casing such that the article of clothing is sandwiched between the sensor and the sensor clip-on casing, said wearable sensor being positioned adjacent a skin of a user, and being further configured to be in intermittent direct contact with the skin of the user when the article of clothing is worn.
A wearable sensor comprising:
- an outer clip-on casing having an opening;
- and
- a sensor assembly configured to be received and secured into the outer clip-on casing opening;
- wherein an article of clothing is positioned between the outer clip-on casing and the sensor such that the same results in a secure fit between clip-on casing and sensor, said sensor being positioned adjacent a skin of a user, and being further configured to be in intermittent direct contact with the skin of the user when the article of clothing is worn.
