    TLDR The new electrode improves long-term monitoring on hairy skin by reducing motion issues and is easy to use.
    The study introduces a novel hairy-skin-adaptive viscoelastic dry electrode (VDE) designed to improve long-term epidermal electrophysiological monitoring by overcoming challenges posed by hair growth and skin wrinkles. The VDE maintains stable interface impedance for 48 days and 100 cycles, effectively reducing motion artifacts in electrocardiography (ECG) and electromyography (EMG) monitoring, even under conditions of intense movement. Additionally, it can be easily attached to the skull for electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring without the need for caps or bandages, marking a significant advancement in electrophysiological signal detection on hairy skin.
