An ECG signal processor (ESP) is proposed for ambulatory arrhythmia monitoring systems. The ESP consists of three heterogeneous processors and performs filtering, data compression, ECG classification, and encryption. A data reduction scheme, consisting of skeleton and Huffman coding, are employed to reduce the on-chip memory capacity and memory access power. Clock gating and voltage scaling are also...
Recent advances in low-power wireless technologies for health are instrumental in bringing EEG monitoring from the hospital to the home environment. This talk provides an overview of imec's research on low-power wireless EEG monitoring. Enabling technologies, integrated systems and remaining challenges are discussed.
An ECG signal processor (ESP) is proposed for the low energy wireless ambulatory arrhythmia monitoring system. The ECG processor mainly performs filtering, compression, classification and encryption. The data compression flow consisting of skeleton and modified Huffman coding is the essential function to reduce the transmission energy consumption and the memory capacity, which are the most energy...
This paper discusses the necessity and ways of replacing batteries in BSNs and other wearable devices with energy scavengers. The stresses are made on thermoelectric energy converters of human body heat into electrical power and on rules of their designing. The reasons for and possible ways of hybridizing wearable thermoelectric converters with photovoltaic cells are discussed, too. The examples of...
This paper gives an overview of the recent results from the Human++ research program, which targets the realization of miniaturized, intelligent and autonomous wireless sensor nodes for body area networks. It combines expertise in micro-power harvesting techniques, ultra-low-power radio, ultra-low-power DSP and sensors and actuators. This paper illustrates how technological breakthroughs in these...
