Abstract:
1. An article comprising: a garment; a monitoring device for monitoring physiological properties of a person wearing the garment, wherein the monitoring device is positioned on a rear side of the garment, wherein the monitoring device is adapted to receive and further process physical signals characterizing the physiological properties to be monitored of the person wearing the garment, and wherein the monitoring device is adapted to store and transmit measuring results resulting from the further processing of the physical signals, the monitoring device being detachably connected to the garment and comprising conductive contacts on a surface; two conductive electrodes; conductive contacts on a surface of the rear side of the garment; and conductive connections from the conductive electrodes to the conductive contacts of the monitoring device through the conductive contacts of the garment; wherein the conductive contacts of the monitoring device can detachably be connected to the conductive contacts of the garment; the conductive electrodes form an inner surface of the garment; the conductive electrodes are located symmetrical with respect to a spine of the person wearing the garment when the garment is worn; and each of the conductive electrodes extends laterally between floating ribs and a costal arch of the person wearing the garment beginning at a front side of the garment in the direction towards the rear side of the garment up to between scapulae of the person wearing the garment when the garment is worn.
