摘要:
A strap band including a flexible wire bus having electrodes and wires coupled with the electrodes is described. The strap band may be coupled with a device that includes circuitry configured to drive signals on some of the electrodes and receive signals from pickup electrodes. Driven electrodes are coupled with drive signals at different frequencies that may be varied to increase or decrease signal penetration depth to sense different body structures positioned at different depths in a body portion be sensed. Different frequencies for different types of measurements may be selected to optimize sensing different biometric parameters, such as bio-impedance, galvanic skin response, hear rate, respiration, heart rate variability, hydration, inflammation, stress, and arousal in sympathetic nervous system at different depths (e.g., layers or strata) in the body portion, for example. A first set of driven/pickup electrodes may sense different biometric parameters than a second set of driven/pickup electrodes.
