Fig 2. A and B: The model, program and SC monitor used for determination of hot flush events.

Fig 2

(A) The Q sensor from Affectiva™ (Waltham, MA, USA) used for ambulatory monitoring and capture of participant electrodermal activity. It is applied to the wrist (in a similar fashion to a watch) allowing integrated dual electrodes contact with the ventral side of the arm. Electrodes detect changes in SC, facilitating the determination of changes in the sweat secretion of participants in micro Siemans (μS). (B) Example of an archetypal hot flush shape detected using SC with a “sharp rise and swishy tail” according to Carpenter et al (1999).
