Abstract
An electrocardiogram sensor (400) is provided, comprising an electrode array (100), comprising a substrate (102) interconnecting three or more spaced apart electrodes (101a-c); and a flexible sheet (200) having a greater areal extent than that of the electrode array (100). The flexible sheet (200) is configured to secure the electrodes (101a-c) to the body of a subject.
Claims19
An electrocardiogram sensor comprising:
- an electrode array comprising a substrate interconnecting three or more spaced apart electrodes, wherein the electrode array extends to a first areal extent and thereby defines a first surface area encompassing the first areal extent;
- and
- a flexible sheet that secures the electrodes to the body of a subject by surface tension or dispersive adhesion,
- wherein the flexible sheet extends beyond the first areal extent to a second areal extent and thereby defines a second surface area encompassing the second areal extent, and wherein the second surface area is greater than twice the first surface area.
A method of applying an electrocardiogram sensor comprising an electrode array having a substrate interconnecting three or more spaced apart electrodes, wherein the electrode array extends to a first areal extent and thereby defines a first surface area encompassing the first areal extent, and a flexible sheet configured to secure the electrodes to the body of a subject by surface tension or dispersive adhesion, the method comprising:
- applying an electrically conductive gel to each of the electrodes;
- and
- applying the flexible sheet and the electrodes to the subject,
- wherein the flexible sheet extends beyond the first areal extent to a second areal extent and thereby defines a second surface area encompassing the second areal extent, and wherein the second surface area is greater than twice the first surface area .
