A biomedical sensor system is disclosed that includes a plurality of electrodes (50) and a contiguous adhesive material (52) that is in contact with each of the plurality of electrodes. The adhesive material has a high impedance and is adapted for capacitive coupling. The system may be adapted for ECG analysis. In certain embodiments a method is provided that includes the step of applying a first surface of adhesive material to a patient wherein the adhesive material includes at least two electrodes on second surface thereof that is opposite the first surface. The method also includes the step of receiving a time varying signal a first electrode of the at least two electrodes at a first location such that the time varying signal is not received at a second electrode of the at least two electrodes.
