Abstract :
Wearable electronics may become a key element in the future to measure a patient´s physiological parameters not only in a clinical environment. This work describes dry electrodes based on conductive rubber, which can be integrated into clothing for monitoring purposes. Characteristic electrical properties like warm up time, skin-electrode impedance and motion artefacts will be discussed.
