Epictrode – Customizable Printed Medical Tattoo Electrodes for Bio-signal Acquisition

The proposed research project is focused on customizable medical tattoo electrodes used on patients in different clinical settings. These electrodes are placed in specific places on the body and are connected to medical signal acquisition systems to collect different medical signals. The signals can include ECG (heart) signals and EMG (muscle) signals, and these signals can be used to diagnose or simply monitor the respective systems (cardiac and skeletomuscular) in the body. This project is part of the Lab2Market program. Therefore, the main goal is to gain insights into the market for the developed medical tattoo technology, which will help translate the technology from the academic lab to market.
