Abstract:Electrophysiological signals directly reflect health status, and with the emergence of a variety of portable devices and wearable devices, electrophysiological signals acquisition is gaining more and more attention. In recent years, many researchers working on the acquisition electrodes of electrophysiological signals, so the microneedle array of dry electrodes based on microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technologies became mature gradually. The microneedle array of dry electrodes achieve electrophysiological signals acquisition continuously, chronically, effectively by using microneedles to penetrate into the examinee’s skin. Mironeedle array of dry electrodes gradually replace the traditional wet electrodes and get increasingly used because of its advantages of low cost, simple operation, not upset examinee, high quality of the acquisition. This article highlights the research value of microneedle array of dry electrodes by comparing with wet electrodes; combined with the latest research at home and abroad, reviews the processing technologies, improving technologies, and application status in the electrophysiological signals acquisition of microneedle array of dry electrodes; discusses the existing deficiencies of microneedle array of dry electrodes and makes a prospect for the future development trend.
