Optimizing Sensor Locations for Electrodermal Activity Monitoring Using a Wearable Belt System

Wearable devices for continuous health monitoring in humans are constantly evolving, yet the signal quality may be improved by optimizing electrode placement. While the commonly used locations to measure electrodermal activity (EDA) are at the fingers or the wrist, alternative locations, such as the...
