1. An electrode belt comprising:
- at least one electrode to measure biometric signals related to heart activity of a user;
a non-conductive strip having at least one opening, wherein the non-conductive strip comprises at least one fold such that at least two portions of the non-conductive strip are folded against each other, wherein a direction of the at least one fold is diverging compared to a longitudinal axis of the non-conductive strip, and wherein the at least one electrode is positioned between the folded at least two portions of the non-conductive strip so that the at least one electrode is enabled to be in physical contact with a skin of the user through the at least one opening; and
a flexible strip to enable placement of the electrode belt against the skin of the user, wherein the non-conductive strip is coupled with the flexible strip such that, when in use, the at least one electrode is in physical contact with the skin of the user.

20. A method of manufacturing an electrode belt, the method comprising:
-
providing at least one electrode to measure biometric signals related to heart activity of a user; providing a non-conductive strip having at least one opening; applying the at least one electrode on the non-conductive strip; folding at least two portions of the non-conductive strip against each other, wherein the folding is performed to a direction that is divergent compared to a longitudinal axis of the non-conductive strip, and wherein the at least one electrode is positioned between the folded at least two portions of the non-conductive strip so that the at least one electrode is enabled to be in physical contact with a skin of the user through the at least one opening; providing a flexible strip to enable placement of the electrode belt against the skin of the user; and coupling the non-conductive strip to the flexible strip such that, when in use, the at least one electrode is in physical contact with the skin of the user.
