1. A wearable device for physiological monitoring, comprising:
a support element;
a first element consisting of a first metallic contact and a second metallic contact between which is placed a dielectric layer, said first element configured to be placed in contact with a wrist of a user and bonded to the support element;
a second element overlapped and bonded to the first element and to the support element; and
an electronic interface for acquiring and processing a signal generated by means of a triboelectric effect in a radial arterial blood vessel of a user near a wrist, said electronic interface being housed within the support element and connected to the first metallic contact and to the second metallic contact of the first element.
