The apparatus for detecting physiological or contextual information includes a flexible portion, a housing removably attached thereto, one or more sensors and a processor. The device may have adjustable operating parameters. An alternative apparatus includes two temperature measuring devices for measuring heat flux and a housing, a known resistance base member, a processing unit and one in thermal communication with the body and the other in thermal communication with the surroundings. Another alternative device includes a housing having an adhesive on its surface for attaching the housing to a body. Another alternative apparatus includes a housing having an inner surface having a vertical concave shape and a convex shape. The apparatus for detecting thermal parameters includes a filtering sensor that generates a filtering signal associated with non-heart related motion of the body and a non-ECG heart parameter sensor based on sound. |
