Smart materials, dry textile sensors, and electronics integration in clothing, bed sheets, and pillow cases for neurological, cardiac and/or pulmonary monitoring

A wearable remote electrophysiological monitoring system, comprising:

• a garment having at least one dry contact sensor, the dry contact sensor including at least one nanostructured, textile-integrated electrode attached thereto, the nanostructured, textile-integrated electrode including
• a piece of fabric having between 10,000 and 100,000 nanostructures per square centimeter of fabric, the fabric including electrically conductive fibers, said nanostructures having vertically standing nanowires, the vertically standing nanowires projecting from the fibers to varying lengths of between 0.01 and 10 micrometers, the nanowires arranged to make contact with the wearer's skin, wherein the vertically standing nanowires are vertically standing when viewed relative to the fabric when the fabric is in a horizontal plane, wherein the conductive fibers include textile fibers blended or coated with metal, wherein the vertically standing nanowires are comprised of polymer nanofibers coated with a conductive material;
• a control module in electrical communication with the at least one nanostructured, textile-integrated electrode;
• and
• a remote computing system in communication with the control module.
