Wireless biomedical sensors at the hospital

Within the hospital or extended care environment, there is an overwhelming need for constant and invisible monitoring of vital body functions. Today’s biomedical sensor solutions are effective for an individual measurement (for example ECG), but are not integrated into a complete body area network, where many simultaneous sensors are working at the same time on an individual patient. Also there is a need for increasing patient mobility and in many cases sensors for biomedical monitoring are not yet available for wireless applications. This creates the need for implementation of new biomedical personal wireless networks with a common architecture and the capacity to handle multiple sensors, monitoring different body signals, with different requirements.

A unique Nordic project has addressed these challenges and the project partners presented and demonstrated the results from the 1st phase of the project at this open seminar.
