Abstract :
An attachable ECG sensor adhesive bandage is implemented for continuous ECG monitoring system by using Planar-Fashionable Circuit Board (P-FCB) technology. The sensor patch improves convenience at low cost: it is composed of dry electrodes and an inductor directly screen printed on fabric, and the sensor chip is also directly wire bonded on fabric. The sensor patch is wirelessly powered to remove battery for safety. Dry electrodes minimize skin irritation to enable long term monitoring. The implemented sensor patch successfully demonstrates capturing of ECG signal while dissipating only 12 uW power.
