This book discusses recent advances in wearable technologies and
personal monitoring devices, covering topics such as skin
contact-based wearables (electrodes), non-contact wearables, the
Internet of things (IoT), and signal processing for wearable
devices. Although it chiefly focuses on wearable devices and
provides comprehensive descriptions of all the core principles of
personal monitoring devices, the book also features a section on
devices that are embedded in smart appliances/furniture, e.g.
chairs, which, despite their limitations, have taken the concept of
unobtrusiveness to the next level. Wearable and personal devices
are the key to precision medicine, and the medical community is
finally exploring the opportunities offered by long-term monitoring
of physiological parameters that are collected during day-to-day
life without the bias imposed by the clinical environment. Such
data offers a prime view of individuals' physical condition, as
well as the efficacy of therapy and occurrence of events. Offering
an in-depth analysis of the latest advances in smart and pervasive
wearable devices, particularly those that are unobtrusive and
invisible, and addressing topics not covered elsewhere, the book
will appeal to medical practitioners and engineers alike.
