Abstract

This paper presents electrical performance of paper based inkjet printed flexible cable for wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. The cable is fabricated by inkjet printing of nano-silver wires on paper which connect bio electric electrodes with wireless transmission of ECG signals to the central medical device. The cable consists of printed metal traces and a shielding line in the middle. The experiment results show that a reliable performance with high quality ECG data can be transmitted on the inkjet printed flexible cable.
