EPIC sensor claimed to simplify ECGs
The Electric Potential Integrated Circuit (EPIC) sensor is capable of detecting minute changes in electrical fields, lending it to use for contact-free electrocardiogram readings
Article Summary
Over the past ten years, scientists at the University of Sussex have been developing electric potential sensors, that could detect minute voltage changes in electrical fields from a distance. This October, England’s Plessey Semiconductors began shipping demo units of the commercialized product. Called the Electric Potential Integrated Circuit (EPIC) sensor, the device has several potential applications, not the least of which is its ability to deliver electrocardiogram (ECG) readings much less obtrusively than is currently possible.
