Apparatus for measuring an electrocardiograph signal
First Claim
1. An electrode structure for measuring an EGG signal on a person'"'"'s skin, wherein the electrode structure is adapted to be arranged and substantially retained at least partly around the person'"'"'s finger comprises an inner surface adapted to reside against the finger, which inner surface of the electrode structure comprises a first electrode, the electrode structure further comprising an outer surface opposite to the inner surface, which outer surface of the electrode structure comprises a second electrode adapted to be arranged against a point on the person'"'"'s skin other than said finger having the electrode structure arranged thereon, the electrode structure being arranged to measure a potential difference caused by the EGG signal between said first electrode and said second electrode.
