Skin-contact electrodes
ElecSil is applied inside the garment, placing textile electrodes against the skin.
ELECSIL APPLICATION / DATA
ElecSil™ DATA
Biosignals.
Through the textile.
A dry textile electrode interface for ECG and EMG acquisition. Integrate skin contact into apparel and connect it to your signal acquisition system.
ELECSIL PLATFORM / DATA INTEGRATION
From fabric
to biosignal acquisition.
The textile interface is shared. The electronics and software depend on the application.
SHARED MATERIALDATA SPECIFIC
Conductive paths
Electrode zones and connecting tracks are considered together with the garment layout.
Signal acquisition
Acquisition electronics read physiological signals through the textile electrodes.
ECG / EMG data
Collect biosignals for analysis in your application. This is the sensing path, rather than stimulation.
SHARED MATERIAL / ALL APPLICATIONS
Soft contact.
Built into the garment.
The dry electrode material is flexible and stretchable, allowing it to move with the fabric and the body.
- Dry electrode contact
- Flexible & stretchable
- Washable & reusable material
DATA / APPLICATION DETAIL
Application: ECG
Application: ECG ElecSil DATA can accurately measure the heart rate of a tiny mouse. It is comfortable to use as it does not require the skin to be wetted and can be used dry also, with the advantages of being ultra-thin, flexible, and elastic to work well on apparel.
DATA / APPLICATION DETAIL
Application: EMG
Application: EMG EMG data collected through ElecSil DATA showed reduced noise, providing accurate EMG results, which were significantly better than disposable electrodes. Skin resistance data showed a low skin impedance of 5kΩ~ when at 100Hz and can be used as both mid-frequency and low-frequency.
