Product Description
Product Description
This book addresses the issues of the rapidly changing field of wireless wearable and implantable sensors. It also discusses the latest technological developments and clinical applications of body-sensor networks (BSN). BSN is a new area of research and the last decade has seen a rapid surge of interest. The book also provides a review of current wireless sensor development platforms and a guide to developing your own BSN applications.
From the Back Cover
The last decade has witnessed a rapid surge of interest in new sensing and monitoring devices for healthcare. One key development in this area is wireless wearable and implantable in vivo monitoring and intervention devices. While the problems of long-term stability and biocompatibility are being addressed, several promising prototypes are starting to emerge for managing patients with acute diabetes, for treatment of epilepsy and other debilitating neurological disorders and for monitoring of patients with chronic cardiac diseases. 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 still have to be investigated. This book addresses the general issues related to the rapidly changing field of Body Sensor Networks (BSN) and discusses the latest technological developments and potential clinical applications. Key contents of the book include: Biosensor Design, Interfacing and Protein Engineering Wireless Communication and Network Topologies Communication Protocols and Standards Energy Scavenging Ultra-Low Power Bio-inspired Processing Multi-sensor Fusion and Context-aware Sensing Autonomic Sensing System Integration and Wireless sensor Microsystem Design The book also provides a comprehensive review of current wireless sensor development platforms and a step-by-step guide to developing your own BSN applications through the use of the BSN Development Kit. Online materials and the latest updates for the BSN Development Kit are available from http://www.bsn-web.info.

Body Sensor Networks, 14 Jun 2009
By Papageno "Papageno" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Body Sensor Networks (Hardcover)
Although this book is sharply focused on "On body & Implantable Sensor Network", reader can get well ballanced in-depth knowledge components (from bio-sensing device, wireless communication, network protocol standards, low power signal processing to context-aware sensing) that are must have knowledge for a person who wish to be in this new field.
Among them, systematic review of various bio-sensing devices and their integration method to wireless network is the most shiny part of the book. Also BSN development kit and programing guide in the book is unique and very helpful. Definetly this book has very good value
