Ubiquitous Health Monitoring: Integration of Wearable Sensors, Novel Sensing Techniques, and Body Sensor Networks

摘要: Emergence of the Internet and widespread use mobile computing have brought traditional eHealth beyond boundary clinical setting, evolving to mHealth which is patient-centered ubiquitous. Faced with world’s rapidly ageing population its burden on healthcare system, one intense areas development in continuous patient monitoring. It requires careful integration wearable sensors wireless body sensor networks. Unlike ambulatory monitors, for may appear various forms, such as watches, jewelry, eyewear, even smart garments. Recent work focused design wearability, alternative sensing techniques, mHealth-specific network topologies.
