Key result
Sewn textile electrodes match traditional adhesive electrodes for heart rate monitoring and user comfort.
Why the study?
Wearable health-monitoring systems require comfortable, non-stigmatizing sensors with high data quality, which smart textiles directly integrated into fabrics could provide.
Do sewn textile electrodes provide comparable ECG signal quality and comfort to traditional adhesive electrodes in healthy subjects?

May support textile integration in wearables; leaves open need for larger validation before clinical adoption.
Do sewn textile electrodes provide comparable ECG signal quality and comfort to traditional adhesive electrodes in healthy subjects?
p-value: p=>0.1
Sewn textile electrodes provide comparable ECG signal quality and comfort to traditional adhesive electrodes, demonstrating feasibility for long-term wearable health monitoring.
Arquilla et al. (2020) studied Healthy (n=8). Sewn textile electrodes vs. Traditional adhesive gel electrodes was evaluated on Difference in R-R interval, heart rate, and comfort (p=>0.1). Sewn textile electrodes showed no statistically significant difference compared to traditional adhesive electrodes in measuring R-R interval (p > 0.1), heart rate (p > 0.5), or user comfort (p > 0.5).
