Implantable body sensor networks

Filed in archive Events on April 2, 2006

Tomorrow scientists from all over the world talk about the future of healthcare at the MIT. A workshop with an impressive title, the International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks. It goes till April 05.

What is it about:
Despite the technological developments in sensing and monitoring devices, issues related to system integration, sensor miniaturization, low-power sensor interface circuitry design, wireless telemetric links and signal processing have still to be investigated. Moreover, issues related to quality of service, security, multi-sensor data fusion, and decision support are active research topics needed for deploying body sensor networks.

The program is huge an covers topics like:
- Making Wearable Sensors Based on Conducting Polymers (basic material Lyrca, foam)
- Thin Film Piezoelectric Energy Scavenging Systems for Long Term Medical Monitoring
- HealthGear: A Real-time Wearable System for Monitoring and Analyzing Physiological Signals
- Stimulating and Sensing Network Inside the Human Body, or even
- A Compact, Wireless, Wearable Sensor Network for Interactive Dance Ensembles
