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）是目前医学领域最重要的评估工具之一 患者的健康。特别是，它经常用于紧急的生死攸关的情况，需要快速评估 必要时，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 电极必须由经过培训的技术人员连接到患者身上；这些不仅不舒服而且 会造成不希望的延迟并且不适合长期监测。一家位于蒙特利尔的初创公司是 开发一种新型心电图设备来克服这些挑战。然而，他们的实现 设备将需要灵活的电极和电路互连，以确保患者舒适度和最佳信号 质量。该项目探索可印刷的柔性导电和介电材料系统来取代这些 传统的电极和互连。研究结果还将有可能对广泛的领域有用 需要或需要可印刷柔性电路设计的一系列工程应用。
