Abstract

Accurate and stable monitoring of electrophysiological (EP) signals is essential for wearable healthcare applications. However, conventional commercial electrodes suffer from poor conformal contact, limited breathability, and weak adhesion under sweaty skin and human motion condition, leading to unstable skin-electrode interface and low-quality signal acquisition. Moreover, single-modality EP signal measurements are insufficient for reliable physiological and health evaluation. Herein, we develop a multimodal electrophysiological signal monitoring electrode (MESME) featuring a fiber membrane combining thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and poly(acrylic acid) functionalized with N -hydroxysuccinimide ester (PAA-NHS), seamlessly integrated with a liquid metal (LM) serpentine conductive path. Compared with commercial electrodes (gel-based wet electrode), this MESME exhibits high mechanical flexibility and conformability, superior breathability, robust bioadhesion, stable electrical performance under perspiration, and motion conditions and lower interfacial impedance, enabling high-fidelity multimodal signal acquisition. Leveraging this capability, the multimodal signals generated by MESME can be further integrated with deep learning for drowsiness prediction, achieving a validation accuracy of 97.14%. This platform offers a practical strategy for multimodal electrophysiological monitoring and supports future development of data-driven health assessment models.
