Abstract

A device configured to detect, measure, and/or monitor physiological signals of a mammal. The device and system can detect a pulse and/or skin bioimpedance of a mammal and determine one or more physiological parameters based on the detected pulse and/or dermal bioimpedance. The device and system converts one or more physiological signals detected by the one or more sensors into one or more physiological parameters and stores the physiological parameters as electronic data, the electronic data being related to a physiological condition of the mammal.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. A physiological signal detecting device, comprising:

a sensor that detects a physiological signal;

the sensor connected to a sensor decoupling mechanism that reduces noise in the physiological signal detected by the sensor; and

a processor that receives the physiological signal from the sensor, and converts the physiological signal to a physiological parameter,

wherein the sensor is configured to be positioned above an artery of a mammal,

the processor is configured to determine the position of the sensor relative to the artery of the mammal and output information regarding the position of the sensor relative to the artery of the mammal based on the received physiological signal, and

the sensor decoupling mechanism includes a rigid portion configured to be positioned at lateral of the artery, wherein the rigid portion minimally affect a blood flow through the artery.

3. A physiological signal detecting device, comprising:

a sensor that detects a physiological signal;

the sensor connected to a sensor decoupling mechanism that reduces noise in the physiological signal detected by the sensor;

a multi-point electrodermal activity sensor having at least two alternating current (AC) driving electrodes, and at least two voltage sensing electrodes; and

a processor that receives the physiological signal from the sensor, and converts the physiological signal to a physiological parameter, and which receives a second physiological signal from the multi-point electrodermal activity sensor, and converts the second physiological signal to a second physiological parameter.
