This research line is dedicated to advancing non-invasive electrophysiology applications. Leveraging the facilities at IMB-CNM for printed electronics development and the group’s expertise in electrophysiology and electrode development, our goal is to deliver cutting-edge solutions with enhanced conformability and user-friendliness, leading to improved signal quality and better clinical outcomes. Collaborating with other groups, we are evolving this technology for demonstrating its potential in enhancing diagnosis in sleep disorders studies. Our focus lies in improving patient conformability and integrating EMG and EEG recordings. We aim to extend the benefits of this skin-electronics technology to other fields, such as high-density EMG applications or EEG studies in newborns. This expansion aims to address current challenges associated with bulky electrodes, particularly in early epilepsy and SUDEP diagnosis.
In addition to technological innovation, we are committed to exploring the adoption of Eco-design principles and sustainable materials, cost-effective manufacturing processes. We are currently exploring the viability of applying these principles in the manufacturing of ECG single use electrodes. By integrating these principles into our manufacturing process, we aim to research in ways for reducing the ecological impact of disposable medical electrodes, contributing to a more environmentally friendly approach within the healthcare industry.
