Fully printed all-polymer tattoo/textile electronics for electromyography

Abstract

Driven by the ever-growing needs for developing low cost, easy-to-use, noninvasive diagnostic tools, biomedical devices that can be integrated on human skin or textiles have begun to emerge. These "wearable" devices should couple electronics directly to the human skin and detect a variety of biologically relevant signals such as the neuromuscular activity. In this work, we develop a simple, low cost and customizable device to perform electromyography (EMG) measurements based on electronics
