Reliable Set-Up of Medical Body-Sensor Networks

Wireless medical body sensor networks enable a new way of continuous patient monitoring, extending the reach of current healthcare solutions. They improve care giving by a flexible acquisition of relevant vital sign data, and by providing more convenience for patients.

Wearable approach for continuous ECG - and activity patient-monitoring

The paper describes an approach to monitor a persons ECG and activity continuously with functional clothing. A belt with integrated electronics has been developed and has proven long-term robustness of all electrical components. A low-power module measures the ECG signal as well as the acceleration (2-axis) and stores data continuously up to two days. A user test has been performed to evaluate the belt according to system performance at different daily-life activities like sleeping, walking and so on. System parameters are ECG-signal quality, system up-time, and ECG-signal coverage during a day.
