A new heart-monitoring system developed at Simon Fraser University (SFU) is set to reshape how clinicians measure and diagnose heart conditions. By combining 3D-printing with artificial intelligence, the research team has created a gel-free, reusable ECG solution designed for greater comfort, sustainability and diagnostic speed An approach that aligns closely with the growing demand for smarter, patient-friendly cardiac care.
At the core of the innovation lies a set of dry electrodes, 3D-printed using carbon-based conductive ink and embedded in a soft, flexible chest belt. Inspired by origami, each electrode forms a small suction cup that gently adheres to the skin. This eliminates the need for traditional gel-based, single-use ECG patches, which can dry out, detach and create unnecessary medical waste....
