SITUATION

The Need for Comfortable Dry Electrodes

Conventional wet ECG electrodes can be inconvenient for prolonged wearable monitoring, creating a need for comfortable dry-electrode materials with acceptable electrical, mechanical and signal-quality characteristics.

WHAT I DID

Electrical, Mechanical and ECG Evaluation

A comparative framework linking material properties with electrical, mechanical and ECG performance, supporting the selection of suitable materials for wearable ECG applications.

Electrical

Skin–electrode impedance compared across candidate dry-electrode materials.

Mechanical

Flexibility and comfort evaluated for prolonged wearable monitoring.

Material Characterisation

Material properties characterised to explain observed electrical and mechanical behaviour.

ECG Signal Quality

Recorded ECG quality assessed to compare real-world performance of each material.

RESULT

Comparative Performance
