A textile electrode device, for detection of electrophysiological signals from the skin of a subject, having: a substrate designed to be positioned on the skin; at least a first detection electrode arranged on the substrate; and at least a first conducting element, carried by the substrate and electrically connected to the first detection electrode. The first detection electrode has a plurality of textile fibres, including conductive fibres and, optionally, fibres of a super-absorbent material, arranged in a direction substantially orthogonal to an upper surface of the substrate and reciprocally in contact with each other, so as to ensure uniform electrical contact over the entire first detection electrode. In particular, the first detection electrode is obtained by means of the flocking technique.

Embodiments provide a wearable apparatus for acquiring electrophysiological signals of a living being. The apparatus includes a textile carrier, at least two dry electrodes attached to an inside of the textile carrier and at least two adjustable straps attached to the textile carrier that allow to adjust the wearable apparatus to a body of the living being and a contact pressure of the at least two dry electrodes to a skin of the living being.

A novel sweat absorbing textile electrode comprises a textile electrode body and an electrical coupling member, the textile electrode body comprising a conductive foam and a conductive fabric wrapped around the conductive foam, the electrical coupling member being fixed on the conductive fabric; wherein a through hole is provided on the conductive fabric on the side in contact with the human skin. The textile electrode has a light weight, small size and soft texture. It fits on the skin, has good air permeability, and is capable to absorb sweat, which can prevent short circuit between electrodes caused by sweat and be used for collecting bioelectrical signal when sweat comes out from human body. It may also be applied in bioelectrical signal monitoring in high temperature, high humidity environment, and during daily exercise.

A chest non-invasive blood pressure detecting probe based on pulse wave transit time and a device thereof are provided. The detecting probe is attached closely to the skin surface of the human chest, and includes a probe body and a patch, which are of split type. The patch is attached and mounted, in a male-female fastener form, on the probe body for use, so that when the patch needs to be replaced, the patch is directly removed and replaced with a new patch, which is convenient for use. The detecting probe is portable and used for continuous dynamic real-time acquiring of the human aortic blood pressure, which is free from the constraints of lead wires, small and comfortable, and high in measuring precision.
