“…6,7 The chloride present in the electrolyte gel acts to diminish the contact impedance between the skin and the electrode, thereby supplying anions. 8 Whilst the Ag/AgCl wet electrode is efficacious for short-term cardiac monitoring, extended usage may precipitate skin irritation or hypersensitive reactions due to the electrolyte gel. Furthermore, over an extended timeframe, the gel may desiccate, thereby attenuating signal quality.…”
With wearable devices featuring electrocardiogram (ECG) capabilities increasingly common, demand for accurate, simple ECG measurements has escalated. Although single-lead ECGs, which capture real-time heart rate and rhythm, are typically used...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
