ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe two cutting-edge technologies for the emerging wearable healthcare applications: application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and printed electronics on a flexible paper substrate. The ASIC enables a compact integration of active circuit blocks on a chip. Due to its tiny size, the ASIC makes the wearable unit unobtrusive and maximizes the wearer's comfort. The electrical performance of a paper based inkjet printed flexible cable is also exhibited. Combining the two technologies together, an example of electrocardiogram (ECG) signal recording is presented.
