Abstract:
1. An article of wearing apparel provided with a sensor for measuring a physiological signal from outside a body of a wearer of the apparel, comprising: a flexible substrate of the wearing apparel, which is permeable to moisture, said flexible substrate having a first end and a second end and a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, at least one electrode of the sensor attached to said flexible substrate and having a signalling surface, said signalling surface extends through an opening in the flexible substrate to face in the same direction as the first surface of the flexible substrate, a signal transmission conductor connected electrically to said electrode, wherein an entire length of the signal transmission conductor is attached in a watertight manner to the second surface of the flexible substrate, said entire length of said signal transmission conductor being contained on said second surface of said flexible substrate without extending beyond the first end or the second end of said flexible substrate, and an installation zone, onto which an electronics module is attachable, is formed on the signal transmission conductor, wherein said signal transmission conductor is connected electrically to a contact area situated in the installation zone, so that when the electronics module is attached onto the installation zone, the contact area in the installation zone makes electrical contact with the electronics module.
