Experimental study of the performance of textile electrodes in emergency situations and long-term monitoring

Cardiovascular diseases and anomalies represent some of the most serious socially significant health challenges in contemporary medical practice. In response to the growing need for effective monitoring and timely diagnosis, recent years have seen increased interest in innovative telemetric systems for remote monitoring of high-risk patients. These technologies enable continuous care, improved quality of life, and early intervention, while overcoming the limitations and inconveniences of conventional monitoring methods.A key aspect of successful implementation of such systems is their integration into the daily lives of patients, with emphasis on comfort, discretion, and reliability of the collected data. In cases of emergency and critical situations, rapid response capabilities are of paramount importance. In this context, wearable technologies—particularly intelligent textile systems with embedded sensors based on conductive materials—have emerged as a promising solution. They allow continuous realtime recording of physiological parameters without disrupting the patient’s normal activity. Moreover, they can be used in emergency scenarios and in hard-to-reach locations, as they are lightweight, portable, and user-friendly. This study explores the potential of intelligent textiles as part of telemetric solutions for cardiovascular system monitoring, highlighting their advantages, challenges, and prospects for clinical application.
