The invention concerns an assembly (100) for delivering electrical currents to and/or sensing electrical signals from a skin portion of an individual. The assembly comprises an electrode (1) having an electrical conductive portion (2) with a surface for entering in contact with a skin portion (200) of the individual and an electrical insulating stratum (3) covering the electrical conductive portion (2). The assembly comprises a conductor assembly (40) having a connector assembly (4) with protuberances (8) for removably retaining the electrode and electrically connecting said electrical conductive portion (2) of the electrode to said monitoring and/or stimulating device. The protuberances have sharpened elements (8) for piercing the insulating stratum (3) and engaging themselves inside the electrical conductive portion (2).

A system for detecting salt ion concentration, comprising a device further comprising a sensor having a carbon printed electrode on a flexible substrate with adhesive on one side (backside) and the circuit electronics to generate pulse signal stimuli and measure salt concentrations to determine hydration level of a person or a living being, wherein the device is a wearable device. The electrode can be made into different shapes changing the area as necessary, since it is a carbon printed electrode and is flexible.

An electrode patch 100 for monitoring electrical activity generated by a subject is disclosed. The electrode patch comprises a plurality of spatially arranged electrodes 102 for contacting an outer surface of a skin of the subject to sense and measure electrical potentials at multiple electrodes 102. The electrode patch 100 further comprises at least one connector portion 104 for connecting to a connector of a connector device. The connector portion 104 is spaced apart from the electrodes 102 and is electrically connected with the electrodes 102. A connector device for connecting to such electrode patch is also disclosed.

A medical system is disclosed that includes a medical device having an optical fiber, and an interchangeable connection component configured to provide a fiber optic connection between the medical device and capital equipment. The connection component is configured to facilitate cleaning and/or polishing of fiber optic interfaces include therewith. The connection component is also configured for replacement by a medical technician while the capital equipment is operational. The capital equipment may include one or more of an optical interrogator, a patch cable, a medical probe, an ultrasound machine, a display, a magnet sensor, or an electro-cardiogram (ECG) machine. The medical device may include an elongate member configured for insertion within the patient body, where the optical fiber core extends along a length of the elongate member.

Systems for applying a transcutaneous monitor to a person can include a telescoping assembly, a sensor, and a base with adhesive to couple the sensor to skin. The sensor can be located within the telescoping assembly while the base protrudes from a distal end of the system. The system can be configured to couple the sensor to the base by compressing the telescoping assembly.

A detection probe and a fetal monitor. The detection probe comprises a probe body (2) and a mounting structure (1), detachably mounted on the probe body (2) and having a heart rate sensor for heart rate detection, a socket (4) for data transmission, and a lead line (5) for connecting the heart rate sensor and the socket (4) arranged thereon. A variety of functions can be achieved by means of a single detection device and thus the degree of integration is high; moreover, when the heart rate sensor is failed or aged, because the mounting structure (1) can be separated from the probe body (2), it is only necessary to repair and replace a corresponding part, so that the maintenance is convenient and the cost is reduced. Furthermore, the mounting structure (1) can also product the probe body (2) to some extent, and thus the anti-dropping capability of the detection probe is improved.

A flexible and/or stretchable structural system for transmitting electrical signal between first and second rigid portions comprises a body structure and said first and second portions arranged to said body structure. The modulus of elasticity of said first portion is lower than the corresponding modulus of elasticity of said second portion. In addition the modulus of elasticity of said body structure is lower than the corresponding modulus of elasticity of said second portion. The system comprises also an interface portion, such as e.g. an electrically conducting fabric, textile or knit, which is arranged to said body structure and between said first and second portions. The interface portion electrically connects said first and second portions. The modulus of elasticity of said interface portion is lower than the corresponding modulus of elasticity of said second portion.

The present disclosure discloses a textile-type multi-channel high-sensitivity sensing dry electrode plate including a body, a conductive cloth and at least one electrode connection part. The body is a sheet-shaped body. The conductive cloth is arranged on one side of the body. The conductive cloth includes at least one electrode part. The electrode connection part is arranged on the body, through the body and electrically connected to the electrode part of the conductive cloth. Moreover, the electrode connection part transmits currents onto the conductive cloth, so that the electrode part of the conductive cloth generates an effect of an electrotherapy or a thermotherapy, or both the electrotherapy and the thermotherapy simultaneously. The electrode part receives physiological electric signals transmitted by a human body and transmits the physiological electric signals back to an apparatus through the electrode connection part to perform a physiological measurement.
