Abstract
The invention relates to a device and method for detecting electrical potentials on the human or animal body, with a body-side arrangement of electrodes (3) and a body-side management unit (4). According to the invention, the conductive pathways (19) between electrodes (3) and management unit (4) include at least in certain areas electrically conductive liquids (17). The pathways (19) are preferably designed as fluid-filled pad segments (16). The invention also relates to a device and method of the aforementioned kind with a body-side arrangement of electrodes (3) and a preferably body-side management unit (4) and/or a preferably remote processing unit (10), which communicate with each other by means of radio transmission (8) using at least one transmitter (7) and at least one receiver (9). It is contemplated that the means of radio transmission (8) preferably comprise transmitter (7) and receiver (9) according to the Zig Bee, Wibree, Bluetooth or ULP standard. The invention also relates to a clothing-like supporting means for such a device.
