Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of biomedicine and materials, in particular to a fully flexible medical dry electrode and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Physiological electrical signals of the human body (EEG, EMG, ECG, OEG, etc.) are an effective way to reflect the health status of the human body, and have been widely concerned in medical clinical diagnosis and daily health monitoring. For example: sleep monitoring by wearing cap electrodes to record scalp EEG; heart disease diagnosis by recording ECG signals through body surface ECG electrodes; treating pain diseases such as migraine by applying electrical stimulation through electrodes. Effective collection of high-quality physiological electrical signals is an important prerequisite for analyzing and evaluating physiological health information, and it is also the basic guarantee for clinical monitoring, diagnosis, intervention, and treatment. [0003] At present, s...
