The thin film is of sufficient thinness so that electrical signals will be conducted through the thickness direction of the film to or from an electrode attached to the skin but so that there will be substantially no conductance of the electrical signals along the surface direction of the film to or from adjacent areas surrounding the electrode. The electrode is then applied to the skin of the patient via the thin film. Electrical signals can be detected from the patient or transmitted to the patient via the electrode and conductive thin film, e.g., ECG signals. | |
