Miniaturized Signal Conditioning System for Kapton®-Based Biopotential and Ion-Selective Electrodes

 

Concept of Operation

Advantages of Miniaturization the Cardiovascular Sensor System

  • Implantability: long-term measurements(several days – years), occurrences of arrhythmias is ofter unpredictable, influence of nervous system can be studied, data is more meaningful and more realistic
  • Reduced Interconnection Problems
  • Easier Handling
  • Improved Performance: mechanical load of cables on electrode is eliminated, noise reduction
