Abstract: In the pursuit of enhancing healthcare through biomedical engineering and wearable technology, this research conducts a thorough investigation into the efficacy of different electrodes for \gls{BioZ} and \gls{BCC} applications. We meticulously analyze Ag/AgCl, \gls{EMS}, and gold-plated electrodes across a variety of metrics such as \gls{SNR}, Settling Time, and \gls{CER}. Through a series of experiments tailored to assess their performance in monitoring heart rate, breathing, and facilitating data transmission through the human body, we uncover the specific contexts in which each electrode type excels.
This study highlights the critical role of electrode choice in advancing non-invasive diagnostic methods through wearable technology. It provides a comprehensive comparison of various electrode types, highlighting their respective benefits for specific health monitoring applications. This research aims to guide the future development of wearable devices, aiming for an optimal balance between sustainability, accuracy, and user convenience in electrode selection for \gls{BioZ} measurement and \gls{BCC} applications.
