  • Patent number: 11672481
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a biological information measuring garment having excellent exterior design, and yet with high measurement accuracy. A biological information measuring garment is provided with an electrode support portion which is joined to a garment body with an amount of freedom and which preferably has a covered-binding structure (looped structure), wherein the amount of freedom of the electrode support portion is set in a predetermined range such that, even when an electrode is in contact with the skin and in a semi-fixed state, the outer side of the garment can accommodate natural movements. In addition, a garment includes at least: a cup portion which covers the female breasts; and a front body, the garment further including on the inside thereof an electrode support portion provided with an electrode for biological information measurement.

  • Publication number: 20220386569
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a garment for measuring biological information for animals, in which the electrode portion is less likely to be displaced from the body even upon a movement of an animal and the biological information can be measured accurately, and to provide a method for measuring biological information. A garment for measuring biological information comprising a front body and a back body having a large tensile elongation EMT. Since the garment for measuring biological information has a band around a torso, it is possible to prevent the electrodes from being displaced from the body due to a movement. Further, since the connection portion between the front body and the back body of the garment for measuring biological information is made of a woven or knitted fabric that expands and contracts in the direction from the head to the tail, the electrodes are less likely to be displaced from the body even upon a great movement.
