Development of Flexible Textile Based Electrode Using Ink Jet Printing for Heart Signal Acquisition

Current study tries to explore the possibility of acceleration in recognition and remedy process of heart disease and continues electrocardiogram signal acquisition. The electrical resistance shows a range around 0.1 Ω/sq, which sounds quite proper for ECG signal acquisition. The quality of acquired signal from printed sensors in two forms of square and circle compared with the standard Ag/Agcl electrode using commercial electrocardiogram from derivative II in sitting situation. The comparison of acquired ECG signal data led to the consideration of small circular fabric sensor for better performance and the least disturbance regarding to homogeneity and attenuation in electric field scattering.
