WEARABLE SENSOR DEVICE WITH BATTERY

摘要

A wearable device for measuring a physiological parameter of a wearer comprises a housing (2) held by a flexible band (5) to the arm or leg of a wearer. A sensor (1) is arranged in the housing and facing the arm or leg. The battery (23) of the device is covered by a lid (21), which is arranged such that the battery (23) can be replaced while the device is being worn. This obviates the need to remove the device for battery replacement, thereby allowing a continuous, accurate measurement without major interruption or inaccuracies caused by a device removal. Further, the device comprises a connector port (28, 28') for attaching a cable to external circuitry. The connector port (28, 28') is covered by band (5), thereby preventing the device from being connected while being worn, which increases electrical safety.
