Abstract :
In the present study, it is investigated whether capacitive electrode can detect electrocardiogram (ECG) at a condition where some cloth is interpolated between the electrode and body surface of an adult subject. The result showed that constructed devices could measure ECG when silk of 247 μm thickness was mediated. Though there is room to improve measurement devices or signal processing for practical use, feasibility of capacitive electrode for low invasive measurement of ECG for newborns and infants is indicated.
