title: An ultra flexible capacitive electrode for an ecg recording system - biomed 2013.
abstract: We have developed an ultra-flexible skin electrode to monitor a patients electrocardiogram (ECG) during daily activity. This electrode consists of a 1.5 micrometer thick polyester film printed with electro-conductive paint. The electrode is attached to the outside of a polyethylene bag filled with a high viscoelastic fluid. When the electrode is placed securely on the skin, it correspondingly changes its shape, and electrode movement artifact is thereby decreased. The electrode improves long-term recording of the ECG by maintaining capacitance-coupled impedance between the electrode and the skin.
