Paper Abstract
This paper describes the development of a non-contact sensing platform to monitor the ECG
signals. The non-contact sensing will be based on capacitive coupling the bioelectricity produced
by cardiovascular activities around the heart. High sensitivity sensor and electronics are
designed to amplify the signals. Our preliminary study has pointed to the promise of this sensing
concept. A sensor prototype was able to clearly detect the ECG signals from 10 cm away from
the body. Research tasks continue improving the sensor design to detect the polarization in the
ECG signals. The final goal is a non-contact sensing platform for ECG signals and for real time
diagnostics of the mental distress and cardiovascular diseases.
