Transforming prenatal care: Can wearables and AI revolutionize fetal monitoring?  

Dry electrodes are sensors that monitor the body's electrical signals—such as heartbeats or brain activity—without the need for gels or adhesives. They make contact with the skin through materials like textiles, allowing for non-invasive monitoring.  

These electrodes detect electrical signals directly from the skin. They are designed to minimize skin impedance, ensuring accurate signal acquisition. Some dry electrodes incorporate advanced technologies, such as CSEM’s Cooperative Sensor technology, which consist of active electrodes connected by a minimal wiring, enhancing signal quality and reducing wiring complexity.   

Yes, dry electrodes are designed for comfort. They are often integrated into flexible, breathable textiles, allowing for extended wear without discomfort.
