Accessory for performance-monitoring device
First Claim
1. An electric apparatus for monitoring an electrocardiogram signal of a person, comprising:
- an attaching mechanism configured to attach the electric apparatus to a wrist band of a wrist device capable of wirelessly receiving information regarding the electrocardiogram signal, the attaching mechanism configured to enable detachment of the electric apparatus from the wrist band of the wrist device so that the electric apparatus can be switched to another wrist device;
first and second electrodes for electrical contact with the skin of the person, the first electrode being configured to be placed between the wrist band of the wrist device and the skin of the person during operation, the second electrode being configured to be placed on the opposite side of the wrist band of the wrist device during operation;
a detector configured to detect the electrocardiogram signal between the two electrodes, wherein the first and second electrodes form a fixed support structure for the detector; and
a transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit information regarding the electrocardiogram signal detected by the detector.
