Bio-signal recording is vital for human condition monitoring and early disease diagnosis. An electrode is a biosensor for bio-signal collection. The conventional wet electrode is not suitable for long-term bio-signal recording owing to the gradual drying of the electrolytic gel and increase in the electrode-skin interface impedance. Microneedle array electrode is a dry electrode that can painlessly pierce skin, forma contact interface between the microneedles and skin tissue, eliminate the high impedance of stratum corneum, weaken the motion artifact, and accurately record bio-signals without skin preparation and application of electrolytic gel. This review focuses on the recently developed fabrication techniques, the mechanical performance, and bio-signal recording performance of microneedle array electrode. The microneedle array electrode is a potential electrode for long-term bio-signal recording, although progress is required in terms of safety and scaled-up manufacture.
