  • Publication number: 20210030327
    Abstract: A physiological signal monitoring device includes a base including a base body that has a bottom plate and an opening, a biosensor mounted to the base, and a transmitter removably mounted to the base body. The base further includes a first coupling structure disposed on a top surface of the bottom plate, and the transmitter includes a second coupling structure coupled to the first coupling structure when the transmitter is mounted to the base body. When the first and second coupling structures are coupled to each other, they are disposed to be distal from a periphery cooperatively defined by the base and the transmitter. They are uncoupled from each other when an external force is applied through the opening of the base body to separate the transmitter from the base.
