The security of wireless body sensor network (BSN) is very important to telemedicine and m-healthcare, and it still remains a critical challenge. Traditional security mechanism of wireless sensor networks can't be applied to BSN directly due to limited resources in terms of power consumption, computation complexity, and memory size etc. In this paper, a novel biometrics based cryptosystem, including...
The security of wireless body sensor network (BSN) is very important to telemedicine and m-healthcare, and it still remains a critical challenge. This paper presents a novel key distribution solution which allows two sensors in one BSN to agree on a changeable cryptographic key. A previously published scheme, fuzzy vault, is firstly applied to secure the random cryptographic key generated from electrocardiographic...
This paper reports a low power transceiver designed for wearable medical healthcare system. Based on a novel energy-efficient wideband wireless communication scheme that uses human body as a transmission medium, the transceiver can achieve a maximum 15 Mbps data rate with total receiver sensitivity of -30 dBm. The chip measures only 0.56 mm2 and was fabricated in the SMIC 0.18 um 1P6M RF CMOS process...
This paper proposed a low-complexity medium access control (MAC) protocol tailored for body sensor networks (BSN) applications. The MAC protocol was designated to handle collision avoidance by reducing the numbers of the overhead packets for handshake control within the BSN. We also suggested a novel message recovery mechanism for getting back the lost physiological information. The adaptive synchronization...
In this paper we present a wearable device for continuous monitoring of respiration signal and the associated algorithm for signal evaluations. The device took advantages of a proven respiratory inductive plethysmograph (RIP) technology and a wireless body sensor networks (BSN) development platform. The textile RIP sensor was integrated into a suit that could be comfortably worn around thorax or abdomen...
This paper presents an expert body sensor network (BSN) algorithm for autonomous control of mean arterial blood pressure using vasoactive drugs. A robust Proportional Integral Differential (PID) control algorithm based on a statistics model was designated. Extensive simulation results indicated that the light-weighted expert BSN system is robust enough against sensitivity variations and various artificial...
Driven by the growing aging population, prevalence of chronic diseases, and continuously rising healthcare costs, the healthcare system is undergoing a fundamental transformation, from the conventional hospital-centered system to an individual-centered system. Current and emerging developments in wearable medical systems will have a radical impact on this paradigm shift. Advances in wearable medical...
