ECG12CS—12-lead ECG Monitoring System with Cooperative Sensors

Abstract

The goal of ECG12CS is to implement a wearable 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system with dry electrodes. The system also fulfils international medical standards in terms of safety and signal quality. To that end, the system uses cooperative sensors. Cooperative sensors are a novel electronic architecture based on active electrodes that allows the acquisition of biosignals (e.g., ECG, electroencephalogram, bioimpedance, etc.) on patients in a comfortable and easy-to-integrate manner. One advantage of this technology developed and patented by CSEM is the extremely simple connection requirement that makes the sensors easy to integrate in a vest or any other garment.
