MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025558 A) filed by Dayananda Sagar College Of Engineering, Bangalore, Karnataka, on March 4, for 'fully biodegradable stretchable conducting biopolymer-graphene composite based ecg electrode for neonatal and geriatric care.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Shashank A Tidke; Dr. Vidya G; Dr. N. Rajeswari; Ravindra B. N; Pururava H; and Adwaith M. V.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The current invention delivers a stretchable, bio-compostable and skin-friendly electrocardiography (ECG) electrode introduced for reliable and dependable bio-signal monitoring on delicate and sensitive skin. The electrode includes a self-doped conducting polymer layer integrated within a biopolymer layer such as chitosan along with a plasticizer to increase flexibility, pliability, and adhesion properties. The present multilayer device architecture empowers very close contact with the human skin while keeping steady electrical conductivity with various mechanical deformation, as well as elongating, twisting, and compression. The designed biopolymer layer offers biocompatibility, moisture retaining, and less skin problems, thus diminishing motion artifacts and distress normally linked with already existing gel-related or metal- based electrodes. The divulged ECG electrode is predominantly appropriate for neonatal care, geriatric patients, burn victims for long-term stretchable and wearable ECG monitoring, contributing better-quality signal reliability, skin protection, and bio- sustainability for the use of biopolymer materials."
