Los operadores de centros de emergencias médicas trabajan en entornos de alta presión donde la carga cognitiva puede afectar tanto al rendimiento como a la toma de decisiones. En este trabajo se presenta un sistema multimodal para la monitorización fisiológica de operadores durante llamadas simuladas de emergencias. La plataforma integra señales cardiovasculares, respiratorias y oculares mediante sensores ECG, banda respiratoria y un dispositivo de eye-tracking, permitiendo la adquisición sincronizada de datos fisiológicos y el etiquetado temporal de eventos. Además, se desarrolla una interfaz web para la gestión de usuarios y el control de las sesiones experimentales. El sistema se prueba mediante una serie controlada de diferentes eventos simulados. Los resultados muestran que el sistema permite registrar de forma continua y sincronizada las señales fisiológicas, constituyendo una base para futuros estudios sobre carga cognitiva en entornos de emergencias.
