Adv Healthc Mater. 2016 Aug;5(16):2001-6. doi: 10.1002/adhm.201600299. Epub 2016 May 31.

Abstract

Electronic textiles are an emerging field providing novel and non-intrusive solutions for healthcare. Conducting polymer-coated textiles enable a new generation of fully organic surface electrodes for electrophysiological evaluations. Textile electrodes are able to assess high quality muscular monitoring and to perform transcutaneous electrical stimulation.

Keywords: PEDOT:PSS; electrophysiology; muscle activity; smart textile; stimulation.
