Inkjet-Printed PEDOT:PSS Electrodes on Paper for Electrocardiography

Adv Healthc Mater. 2017 Mar;6(6). doi: 10.1002/adhm.201601167. Epub 2017 Jan 25.

Abstract

Inkjet-printed PEDOT:PSS electrodes are shown to record cutaneous electrophysiological signals such as electrocardiograms via a simple finger-to-electrode contact. The recordings are of high quality and show no deterioration over a 3 month period, paving the way for the development of the next generation of low-cost, convenient-to-use healthcare monitoring devices.

Keywords: electrophysiology; organic bioelectronics; printed electronics.
