Abstract

A wearable medical sensor system includes a piece of clothes and an elastic bounding layer attached in the clothes. The piece of clothes includes a main body with a shape symmetric on both sides with respect to an axis of symmetry and a couple of sleeves symmetrically connected to both sides of the main body. At least a part of the main body is surrounded by the elastic bounding layer. First to Fifth electrodes are attached on the elastic bounding layer corresponding to the same surface of the clothes. The elastic bounding layer is more stretchable and more contractible than the clothes.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A wearable medical sensor system, comprising a piece of clothes and an elastic bounding layer attached on an inner side of the piece of clothes, and the clothes including a main body with a shape symmetric on both sides with respect to an axis of symmetry and a pair of sleeves symmetrically connected to both sides of the main body, and at least a part of the main body being surrounded by the elastic bounding layer, and a first electrode, a second electrode, a third electrode, a fourth electrode and a fifth electrode being attached on the elastic bounding layer and disposed on the same surface corresponsive to the clothes, and the elastic bounding layer having a contractility greater than the contractility of the clothes, and the elastic bounding layer having a stretchability greater than the stretchability of the clothes.

2 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode, the second electrode, the third electrode, the fourth electrode and the fifth electrode are conductive fabrics.

3 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are disposed symmetrically on both sides of the axis of symmetry and arranged under a lower-edge connecting line of the junction of the main body and each sleeve, and the third electrode and the fourth electrode are arranged between an upper-edge connecting line of the junction of the main body with each sleeve and the lower-edge connecting line and disposed on both sides of the axis of symmetry respectively, and the fifth electrode is disposed at the lower-edge connecting line of the junction of the main body and each sleeve and configured to be biased towards a side of the axis of symmetry.

4 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 3 , wherein the third electrode and the fourth electrode are configured to be corresponsive to the sleeves respectively.

5 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 1 , wherein the elastic bounding layer includes a belt attached to the clothes.

6 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 1 , wherein the elastic bounding layer includes a vest attached on an inner side of the main body, and only a portion of the elastic bounding layer is coupled to a portion of the clothes.

7 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 1 , wherein the elastic bounding layer is attached on an inner side of the main body and extended to an inner side of at least one of the sleeves.

8 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 1 , further comprising an ECG signal processing device attached on the clothes and electrically coupled to the first electrode, the second electrode, the third electrode, the fourth electrode and the fifth electrode.

9 . A wearable medical sensor system, comprising a piece of clothes, an elastic bounding layer spliced with the clothes, a main body with a shape symmetric on both sides with respect to an axis of symmetry, and a pair of sleeves respectively and symmetrically coupled to both sides of the main body, and surrounded by at least a part of the elastic bounding layer, and a first electrode, a second electrode, a third electrode, a fourth electrode and a fifth electrode being attached on the elastic bounding layer and installed on a same surface corresponsive to the clothes, and the elastic bounding layer having a contractility greater than the contractility of the clothes, and the elastic bounding layer having a stretchability greater than the stretchability of the clothes.

10 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 9 , wherein the first electrode, the second electrode, the third electrode, the fourth electrode and the fifth electrode are conductive fabrics.

11 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 9 , wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are disposed on both sides of the axis of symmetry respectively and arranged under a lower-edge connecting line of the junction of the main body and each sleeve, and the third electrode and the fourth electrode are arranged between the upper-edge connecting line and the lower-edge connecting line of the junction of the main body and each sleeve and disposed on both sides of the axis of symmetry respectively, and the fifth electrode is disposed on the lower-edge connecting line of the junction of the main body and each sleeve and configured to be biased towards a side of the axis of symmetry.

12 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 11 , wherein the third electrode and the fourth electrode are configured to be corresponsive to the sleeves respectively.

13 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 9 , wherein the elastic bounding layer includes a belt spliced with the clothes.

14 . The wearable medical sensor system of claim 9 , further comprising an ECG signal processing device attached on the clothes and electrically coupled to the first electrode, the second electrode, the third electrode, the fourth electrode and the fifth electrode.
