Ultra-Thin Chip Package (UTCP) and stretchable circuit technologies for wearable ECG system

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2011:2011:6886-9. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2011.6091734.

Abstract

A comfortable, wearable wireless ECG monitoring system is proposed. The device is realized using the combination of two proprietary advanced technologies for electronic packaging and interconnection : the UTCP (Ultra-Thin Chip Package) technology and the SMI (Stretchable Mould Interconnect) technology for elastic and stretchable circuits. Introduction of these technologies results in small fully functional devices, exhibiting a significant increase in user comfort compared to devices fabricated with more conventional packaging and interconnection technologies.
