Maintaining stillness is essential for accurate bioelectrical signal acquisition, but dynamic noise from breathing remains unavoidable. Isotropic adhesives are often used as bioelectronic interfaces to ensure signal fidelity, but they can leave irreversible residues, compromising device accuracy. We propose a hydrogel with selective frequency damping and asymmetric adhesion as a bioelectronic interface. This hydrogel mitigates dynamic noise from breathing, with a damping effect in the breathing frequency range 60 times greater than at other frequencies. It also exhibits an asymmetric adhesion difference of up to 537 times, preventing residues. By homogenizing ion distribution, extending Debye length, and densifying the electric field, the hydrogel ensures stable signal transmission over 10,000 cycles. Additionally, it can non-invasively diagnose otitis media with higher sensitivity than invasive probes and has been effective in clinical polysomnography monitoring, aiding in the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.
