A device for measuring therapeutic compliance with wearing a textile item by a patient. The device includes: a flexible electronic card having two opposed faces and designed to be integrated into the item in a manner such that one of the faces is disposed against a limb of the patient when the item is worn; two capacitive electrodes each disposed on one of the faces of the electronic card, orientated in opposing directions and capturing measuring signals which are a function of their environment; a monitoring system disposed on the electronic card and capable of generating compliance data from the measuring signals; and a communications system disposed on the electronic card and designed to transfer data remotely from the item. The device is suitable for selectively detecting Wearing, Not Wearing or Washing of the item, as well as for estimating a potential level of wear of the item.
