Calendar 2009 Poster Sessions : Wireless Communication Systems for Bio-sensors
Abstract:
There has been a rapid development of in the integration of electronics in biological systems for measurement and control functions. The bio-sensor applications usually require data and sometimes power to be transferred wirelessly, since transcutaneous wire connections have a high risk of infection. Low data-rate bio-sensors such as those measuring temperature, blood pressure, glucose levels or aimed at disease control are the most prevalent ones. However, there is an emerging class of bio-sensors that require enormous amounts of data processing, transmission and storage. Brain implants is one example of these high-bandwidth applications, where simultaneous processing of tens or hundreds of neurological signals often takes place. This application is the main focus of this poster presentation.
