  • Publication number: 20230225658
    Abstract: A wearable electrode includes an electrode (203) fixed to garment (21) such that the electrode (203) can simultaneously come in contact with the skin of respective parts from the ventral side to the dorsal side of the upper left part of the body of a wearer (20), and an electrode (204) fixed to the garment such that the electrode (204) can simultaneously come in contact with the skin of respective parts from the ventral side to the dorsal side of the upper right part of the body of the wearer (20). The electrodes (203, 204) are installed such that the attaching positions gradually descend from the ventral side to the dorsal side with the wearer (20) standing upright, or the attaching positions gradually ascend from the ventral side to the dorsal side with the wearer (20) standing upright.

  • Publication number: 20220133199
    Abstract: Provided is a biosignal acquiring tool, including: a textile structure in which a non-slip textile is disposed; an electrode positioned on a surface of the textile structure; a connector configured to connect an electronic device configured to acquire a signal from the electrode; and an elastic belt capable of being stretched independently of the textile structure. The elastic belt is disposed in parallel with the textile structure, while facing a surface of the textile structure that is different from the surface on which the electrode is positioned. The elastic belt is coupled to the textile structure at a portion different from a portion at which the electrode is positioned and at a portion different from surroundings of the portion. The textile structure is capable of being displaced within a range of 2 mm or more and 10 mm or less in the width direction of the elastic belt.
