Abstract

A biosensor includes: a flexible base, a first sensor includes a first sensor main body; and a second sensor includes a second sensor main body that is detachably installed on the side face of the flexible base installed with the first sensor main body, and is arranged at intervals on the first sensor main body. The second sensor is detachably installed on the flexible base installed with the first sensor, and does not overlap with the first sensor, thereby allowing the second sensor to work together with the first sensor, thereby obtaining different physiological parameters. The second sensor can also be detached from the flexible base and used independently to increase user convenience.
