Sensors for Health Monitoring

Sensors for Health Monitoring is concerned with supporting and enhancing the utilization of Ubiquitous Healthcare. It discusses the characteristics of U-Healthcare systems in different domains. The book is aimed at professionals, scientists, and engineers who are involved in new techniques for U-Healthcare systems. It provides a foundation for undergraduate and post-graduate students as well. For those actively working in the field or about to move into it this book provides information and advice that will help customers to choose the best sensors for their U-Healthcare system and to incorporate the sensors correctly. It also advises and guides readers on how to overcome challenges related to data acquisition and signal processing within the systems they are designing.

This book presents comprehensive coverage of up-to-date requirements in hardware, communication, and calculating for next-generation uHealth systems. It compares new technological and technical trends and discusses how they address expected u-Health requirements. Detailed information on system operations is presented and challenges in ubiquitous computing are highlighted. The purpose of this book is not only to help beginners with a holistic approach toward understanding u-Health systems but also present to researchers new technological trends and design challenges they face, whilst designing such systems.
