A novel approach for an ECG electrode integrated into a transcutaneous sensor.
The integration of an ECG-electrode into a common transcutaneous sensor allows simple handling and leads to a reduction of the physiological stress of pre-term infants. Furthermore it may allow future replacement of an invasive method to measure the ECG under labour by a non-invasive one.
