Abstract

This invention relates to a bio-signal detecting device which can be belted up on a user. The bio-signal detecting device includes a respiratory signal detecting module, a electrocardiogram (ECG) signal detecting module, a body temperature detecting module, a contacting object and a flexible belt, wherein the respiration signal detecting module is used for obtaining a respiratory signal, the ECG signal detecting module is used for obtaining a ECG signal and the body temperature detecting module is used for a temperature value. The respiratory signal detecting module, the ECG signal detecting module, and the body temperature detecting module are disposed on the contacting object. The flexible belt is coupled to the contacting object and belts the user in order to fix the contacting object on the user.
