Fully integrated flexible long-term electrocardiogram recording patch with gel-less adhesive electrodes for arrhythmia detection

A mechanically flexible and fully integrated electrocardiogram (ECG) recording patch (ERP) that simultaneously monitors the ECG signals and detects the arrhythmia is presented. A simplified two-step process is applied to fabricate the acetylene carbon black (AB)/ polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) electrodes. The soft and adhesive nature of polymer composite electrodes allows conformal contact to the skin. The ERP integrates ECG front end circuits,...
