An electrically conductive fiber (1) and a coupled biomedical sensor (100) are described. An electrically conductive core of the fiber includes a multiplicity of synthetic conductive filaments and an outer nonconductive fiber layer. The sensor area of the electrically conductive fiber is coated by a thin film of silver ink and thin film of silver-silver chloride ink. The electrically conductive fiber's porous surface contacts the thin silver ink coating and the silver coating contacts the silver-chloride ink coating. A surface of the biomedical sensor is coated by a thick film of ionically conductive media, containing an electrolyte, in contact with the silver-chloride coating. The electrolyte diffuses into a porous structure of electrically conductive yarn. |
