A physiological sensor device for attachment to a mammalian subject including first and second regions of sensors (20, 22) attachable to a subject in use. First and second regions of sensors are separated by a flexible web (24, 28) adapted to enable variable separation of the first and second sensor regions from one another in use. The physiological sensor device is manufactured by forming a strip of electrically conductive material on a flexible electrically non-conductive substrate, cutting a slot through both the flexible substrate and the conductive strip to define a pair of adjacent edges of conductive material separated by a non-conductive gap, thereby also to define adjacent electrode sensors (30, 32, 34) each having one of the pair of adjacent edges formed in the strip of conductive material. The physiological sensor device is attached to the subject for measurement of numerous physiological parameters for a period of time, such as 24 hours, and then is thrown away. |
