Highly Conductive Flexible Sensor Integrated With Personal Devices For Practical Bio-Signal Measure
17Highly Conductive and Flexible Sensor Integrated With Personal Devices For Practical Bio-Signal Measurement and Applications
Electrophysiological (EP) signal such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG) is one of most important and widely used noninvasive method to diagnose various early stage critical diseases and symptoms. With the advance of science and technologies, diverse applications with EP signal have been developed in various areas such as ubiquitous (UHC) healthcare and human machine interface (HMI). Simple and insensible bio-signal recording is required for such applications. Therefore, many different wearable sensors and devices have been developed for simple and comfortable EP recording. However, conventional sensors still have limitations such as form factor, gel use, unreliability and inconvenience. Various elastomeric conductive electrodes are presented that are comfortable and convenient designed to enable recording in daily life. A custom-built wireless circuit system enables real-time monitoring of EP signal whose information can be displayed on a cell phone during in outdoor activities. Careful evaluation of various experimental results and applications reveal the possibility for using in the real life. This research offers a facile approach for a wearable healthcare monitor via integration of soft electronic constituents with personal belongings.
