Abstract
A wearable garment and an arrangement of electrodes configured to measure bioelectrical signals from a patient. The dry electrodes are free from adhesives to hold the electrodes in place on the patient's skin. The arrangement of the electrodes may be configured to limit noise and facilitate accurate signal sensing from the patient even with some amount of relative movement between the electrodes and the patient's skin. The wearable garment may be controllable to change the amount of compression based on the sensed signals from the electrodes, and from other sensors. The garment may maintain a comfortable level of compression until processing circuitry detects a signal of interest, such as a cardiac arrhythmia, irregular respiration, or some other signal. The processing circuitry may cause the wearable garment to increase compression to improve the contact between the electrodes and the patient's skin and improve reception of the measured signals.
