Healthcare sensor networks (HSNs) now offer the possibility to
continuously monitor human activity and physiological signals in a
mobile environment. Such sensor networks may be able to reduce the
strain on the present healthcare workforce by providing new
autonomous monitoring services ranging from simple user-reminder
systems to more advanced monitoring agents for preventive,
diagnostic, and rehabilitative purposes. Potential services include
reminding people to take their medication, providing early warning
for the onset of heart attacks or epileptic seizures, and
monitoring a child's physical activity in order to assess their
growth and mental development. Healthcare Sensor Networks:
Challenges Toward Practical Implementation discusses the
fundamental concepts in designing and building such networks. It
presents the latest developments in HSNs, explores applications of
the technology, and provides insights into practical design and
deployment challenges. Bringing together contributions from
international experts in the field, the book highlights the key
areas that require further research for HSNs to become a
technological and commercially viable reality. The first part of
the book concentrates on the engineering challenges, covering new
biosensors, energy harvesting techniques, new wireless
communication methods, and novel security approaches. Building from
single sensing devices to networked sensing systems, the second
part of the book looks at various health applications of HSNs. It
addresses the human-centric requirements that should be considered
in the design of HSN technologies-cost, portability, functionality,
and user acceptance-and demonstrates how engineering compromises
must be made in HSN solutions. A useful and timely resource for
researchers, postgraduate students, and engineers looking for
innovative solutions in healthcare, this book will also be of
interest to medical and allied he
