1. An electrocardiography (ECG) electrode, comprising:
an electrode substrate;
an electrode that includes
a layer of conductor and
a layer of electrolyte gel for contacting with skin that in response to an electrical signal at the surface of the skin frees ions in the electrolyte gel that, in turn, cause the layer of conductor to give up electrons; and
one or more holes that each penetrates through the electrode substrate and through the layer of electrolyte gel of the electrode to the skin to allow air to vent through the electrode substrate and through the layer of electrolyte gel of the electrode to improve tensile strength to prevent tearing and pulling from the skin.
