The electrocardiogram (ECG) is currently one of the most important tools used in the medical field to evaluate the health of a patient. In particular, it is often used in acute life-or-death situations where a rapid evaluation is necessary, for example when diagnosing a heart attack. Unfortunately existing systems rely on cumbersome electrodes that must be attached to the patient by a trained technician; these are not only uncomfortable but also cause an undesirable delay and are not suitable for long-term monitoring. A Montreal-based start-up is developing a novel electrocardiogram device to overcome these challenges. However, the realization of their device will require flexible electrodes and circuit interconnects to ensure patient comfort and optimum signal quality. This project explores printable flexible conductive and dielectric material systems to replace these conventional electrodes and interconnects. The findings will also have the potential to be useful for a wide range of engineering applications where printable flexible circuit designs are desirable or necessary.

心电图（ECG）是目前在医学领域使用的最重要的工具之一，以评估 病人的健康。特别是，它经常用于紧急的生死情况，在这种情况下， 例如，在诊断心脏病发作时。不幸的是，现有的系统依赖于繁琐的 必须由受过训练的技术人员将电极附接到患者;这些不仅不舒服，而且 导致不期望的延迟并且不适合于长期监测。一家总部位于伦敦的初创公司 开发一种新型心电图设备来克服这些挑战。然而，实现他们的 设备将需要柔性电极和电路互连，以确保患者舒适度和最佳信号 质量.该项目探讨可印刷的柔性导电和介电材料系统，以取代这些 传统的电极和互连。这些发现也有可能对广泛的领域有用 可印刷柔性电路设计是理想的或必要的工程应用范围。
