Integrated Sensors for Wireless Non-contact Cardiac and Neural (ECG/EEG) Monitoring – TATRC Grand Challenge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wearable, unobtrusive physiological and cognitive monitoring systems have significant potential for increasing the effectiveness of military and civilian medical care by providing real-time and continuous data for key vital signs. To date, however, such systems have been constrained by the need for extensive subject preparation along with the discomfort and inconvenience of skin-adhesive electrodes. A new type of integrated, non-contact biopotential sensor (ECG/EEG) has been developed to specifically address the limitations in signal accuracy and usability of traditional dry electrode technology. Compared to conventional implementations in the literature, the new integrated sensor removes the need for manual calibration and demonstrates a significantly improved signal fidelity in live measurements, even through clothing.
