Abstract:
1. A physiological sensor for monitoring a subject, comprising: a substrate for placement on a body part of the monitored subject; a first stretchable sensor conductor fixed to the substrate; a second stretchable sensor conductor fixed to the substrate and arranged to be generally parallel to the first stretchable sensor conductor, each stretchable sensor conductor having an external contact point; and a bridging connection connecting the first stretchable sensor conductor and the second stretchable sensor conductor at a bridged end so that the first stretchable sensor conductor and the second stretchable sensor conductor are electrically continuous and form a loop configuration, the electrically continuous sensor conductors having a contact end, wherein the contact end includes the external contact points, and wherein the bridging connection is configured such that electricity flows in a first direction in the first stretchable sensor conductor and in a second opposing direction in the second stretchable sensor conductor.
