Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing of Printed Biosensor Electrodes for ECG Monitoring

Abstract

The increase in popularity of wearable electronics for health and wellness monitoring drives manufacturing of components for these devices. Components for these devices has to be thin and flexible to ensure conformity to human body for accurate signal capturing. In this work, we demonstrated the fabrication of biosensor electrodes for electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring on a 300 mm web-width roll-to-roll processing system. These biosensor electrodes fabricated are thin and flexible, collects ECG signals even when user is in motion and has the ability to withstand machine washing up to 50 wash cycles.
