Implementation of a capacitive ECG measurement system in clinical practice: an interim report

This paper presents the first results about the acceptance of a capacitive ECG measurement system on the clinicians as well as on the patient side. In a clinical study an ECG measurement system with capacitively coupled electrodes was tested against a conventional reference ECG. The whole setup including study design, description of the measurement and clinical setup as well as the results about acceptance and first diagnostic are presented and the use in different application scenarios is discussed.
