摘要：
A heart rate monitor (HRM) includes an electrostatic discharge protective layer configured to at least partially shield the heart rate monitor from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The heart rate monitor includes a strap configured to be worn on the body of a user that includes signal and ground electrodes. The signal electrode is configured to receive electrical impulses from the heart of the user, while the ground electrode is configured to electrically ground the heart rate monitor to the body of the user. An electrostatic discharge protective layer is disposed on or in the strap over the signal electrode so that the signal electrode is at least substantially positioned between the body of the user and the electrostatic discharge protective layer when the strap is worn. The electrostatic discharge protective layer is electrically coupled to the ground electrode to at least partially shield the signal electrode from electrostatic discharge.
