1. An apparatus for monitoring physiological information of an individual comprising:
- a sensor adapted to capture electrodermal activity and at least one of skin temperature, heart rate, or heart rate variability;
a circuit board incorporated as part of the sensor;
a plurality of electrodes electrically coupled to the circuit board; and
a pressure sensing device coupled to an electrode, from the plurality of electrodes, and circuitry, coupled to the circuit board, adapted to compensate electrodermal activity evaluations based on a measurement, by the pressure sensing device, of force applied to the electrode.

Abstract
A biosensor is described which can obtain physiological data from an individual. The biosensor may collect electrodermal activity, skin temperature, and other information. The biosensor may be attached to the body through the use of a garment which may be fastened in multiple locations on the human body. The biosensor has replaceable electrodes which may be interchanged. The electrodes contact the body without having any wires or leads external to the sensor.
