Conventional brain activity monitoring devices including head bands and scalp caps are still not appropriate for daily-life applications because of their wearing discomfort electrode-related artifacts. A proposed behind-the-ear (BTE) device, where motion artifacts significantly reduced, would be a promising candidate continuous mental healthcare platforms. This BTE-based measurement allows multimodal bio-signals such as electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram...

Recent wearable blood pressure (BP) measurements that are based on the pulse transit time (PTT) require additional bothersome contact for their subordinate electrocardiogram (ECG), such as from opposite hand's finger. This extra disrupts continuous BP monitoring during daily activities. A proposed neckband-based device allows measurement just by wearing it, and a baseline-tracking impedance plethysmogram (IPG) facilitates daily-life PTT at carotid artery [1]. For this purpose, mixed-mode...
