The invention claimed in US 845 is entitled ‘Padded, flexible encasing for body monitoring systems in fabrics’. It is directed to a wearable monitoring device having padding and protective layers which together encase and protect a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB is coupled to at least one sensor configured to monitor a physiological condition of the wearer. It was agreed that the monitoring of a physiological condition is the same thing as measuring biosignals. An exemplary embodiment in US 845 is a bra in which such a device is installed.

The device has alternative sensors to measure different types of signal, the sensors being coupled to a monitoring device, an electronics module and to a power source such as a battery. US 845 also describes a pocket in which the monitoring device can be fitted.
