A combination of logical judging circuit and water-resistant ultrathin film PEDOT: PSS electrode for noninvasive ECG measurement
DISCOVER NANO - 2024
Tóm tắt
Heart disease-related deaths have increased in recent decades, with most patients dying of sudden cardiac arrest. In such instances, the effect of regular electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements is minimal. Therefore, long-term ECG monitoring has become increasingly important. In this paper, we report a non-adhesive high accuracy ECG monitoring system that can be used in various scenarios without interfering with daily activities. The ECG ultra-thin film electrode is made by water-resistant material based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) electrode doped with ethylene glycol (EG) and xylitol, to improve the noise signal caused by sweat. The optimal ratio of the three ingredients of PEDOT: PSS/xylitol/EG was determined experimentally to accommodate the ECG monitoring. By using the proposed selectively closed multi-channel single-lead logic circuit, the noise of ECG signal received from the proposed film electrode can be successfully reduced during broad-area electrode measurements, thus to improve ECG measurement accuracy.
