Problems solved by technology

Motion artifact is noise caused by the movement of the electrode relative to the user's skin (i.e., electrode movement causes deformation of the skin near the electrode site, which in turn causes changes in the electrical properties of the skin around the electrode) and can contribute to Contributing to EGC readings, thereby giving rise to the potential for misinterpretation of ECG readings

Abstract

Exemplary embodiments provide an adjustable sensor support structure for optimal skin contact. Aspects of the exemplary embodiments include a sensor array comprising a plurality of sensor units arranged on a band such that the sensor array straddles or otherwise addresses a blood vessel when worn on a measurement site of a user; and a pressure exertion apparatus attached between the sensor units and the band that exerts outward pressure on the sensor units towards the measurement site causing the sensor units to maintain contact with skin of the user independent of motion activity of the band, thereby improving contact quality, wherein the pressure exertion apparatus comprises at least one of: a flexible bridge structure, a flexible foam structure, and a sensor trampoline structure.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related applications [0002] This application claims the priority rights of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 969,766 filed on March 24, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical field [0003] This description generally relates to adjustable sensor support structures for optimal skin contact. Background technique [0004] Physiological data can be obtained by various measurements such as photoplethysmograph (PPG), electrocardiogram (ECG), bioelectrical impedance, etc., which can be implemented in portable devices. [0005] For example, the heart rate can be measured by detecting changes in impedance caused by the pulse in the blood flow in a local area of ​​the body. Heart rate detection by measuring the electrical properties of flowing blood can be obtained by measuring the electric potential caused by the current passing through the blood, arteries and surrounding tissues. Traditional wearable heart rate detec...
