A simple and accessible inkjet platform for ultra-short concept-to-prototype sEMG electrodes production.

Inkjet-printing is a well-known technology that has been recently revalued for the production of flexible sensors and biosensors, thank to the use of engineered nanostructured inks. In a previous work, we developed a general-purpose biosensors printing platform that made use of a simple and low-cost consumer printer and allowed to produce customized flexible electrodes with an ultra-short concept-to-prototype time, without requiring any sintering step. In this study we show the preliminary results about the use of such a newly easily-accessible, low-cost inkjet-based platform to produce flexible and fully customizable electrodes for reliable surface electromyographic (sEMG) recordings.
