    Abstract: A physiological measurement system comprises a digital module, which receives an analog bio-signal, a digital unit, which converts the at least one analog bio-signal into a digital signal form, and a first 5-pin-USB-connector, which output the bio-signal in the digital signal form. A bio-signal processing unit, which comprises a counter 5-pin-USB-connector, which is connected with the first 5-pin-USB-connector and receives the bio-signal from the digital module, and alternatively receives analog bio-signal in an analog signal form. The bio-signal processing unit distinguishes between the digital and analog signals and performs: an electric connection of the counter 5-pin-USB-connector with an input of an analog-to-digital converter circuit, an output of which is electrically connected with a digital data processing unit of the bio-signal processing unit, in response to detection of the analog signal received from the counter 5-pin-USB-connector, and an electric connection of the counter 5-pin-USB-connector with the digital data processing unit in response to detection of the digital signal received from the counter 5-pin-USB connector.

    Abstract: A bio-signal skin contact apparatus comprises a first layer, a second layer with adhesive for a skin contact, and a middle layer that is elastic and located between and in contact with the first layer and the second layer. Each of one or more hole structures comprise a first hole through the first layer, a second hole through the second layer and a third hole through the middle layer. The first, second and third holes of a single hole structure of the at least one hole structure are overlapping. A connector structure is partly within the hole, the connector structure comprising an extension, which extends above the level of the first layer, and a cavity for a sensor within the connector structure. The extension performs a bayonet connection with a counter-connector. The connector structure comprises an aperture through the extension in a level of the middle layer. A compartment is filled with flowable material within the hole structure, the flowable material being in contact with and covered by the first layer. The flowable material flows through the aperture into the cavity for the flowable material to become in contact with both skin and the sensor in response to tightening action of the bayonet connection that causes compression to the bio-signal skin contact apparatus at the connector structure and deformation of the compartment based on elasticity of the middle layer for causing pressure to the flowable material.

    Abstract: A coupling arrangement for a bio-signal measurement, comprises at least two spring connectors of a bio-signal processing device, and a holder comprising a combination of a wall and a substrate, which form a pocket inside the holder, the wall following an outer contour of the bio-signal processing device. The holder has an aperture for inserting the bio-signal processing device into the pocket and removing the bio-signal processing device from the pocket. The holder includes electric conductor lines, which are in a wired electric contact with electrodes of the substrate, the electrodes receiving at least one bio-signal. The electric conductor lines are attached on the substrate inside the pocket, the electric conductor lines and the at least two spring connectors connecting electrically with each other in response to insertion of the bio-signal processing device in the pocket.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a portable monitoring module and a monitoring method utilizing the module for monitoring a plurality of electrical biosignals of a person. The module includes a measurement for measuring an electrical biosignal from the at least two electrodes, a wireless communication unit, and a processing unit. The processing unit selects a biosignal type to be monitored from a list of types supported by the monitoring module, store samples of biosignal data generated by the measurement unit, detect an indicator pattern within the biosignal data, wherein the indicator pattern represents an indication of a possible event of the selected biosignal type, and send a set of biosignal data wirelessly to a validation system. The set of biosignal data represents a sequence of samples of biosignal data related to the detected indicator pattern, and the validation system confirms the presence of the event in the received set of biosignal data.

    Abstract: An electrode apparatus is applicable on a skin with hair of a mammal for measuring an electrical bio-signal. The electrode apparatus comprises cylindrical chambers, each of which comprises a wall, which forms a cavity within the cylindrical chambers, a roof at a first end of each of said cylindrical chambers, a second end of said cylindrical chambers opposite to the first end being open, and at least one electrode. An elongated structure is located within each of the cylindrical chambers, and comprises a first portion parallel to a central axis of a cylindrical chamber within which it is. A first end of the elongated structure, the first end of the elongated structure belonging to the first portion, is attached to the roof. At least one second portion, each comprising a second end opposite to the first end, deviates from a direction of the central axis of a cylindrical chamber within which it is. The elongated structure rotatable in order to bundle hair when applied to the mammal so as to improve a contact of the electrode with the skin of the mammal.
