With the ability to monitor a vast range of physiological parameters,
combined with wireless technology, wireless sensor networks and the Internet of
Things, wearable sensors are revolutionising the field of digital health
monitoring. In addition to applications in health monitoring, such technology is
being used to monitor the state of our living environment and even the quality of
our foods and the wellbeing of livestock. Written for scientists, engineers and
practitioners by an international collection of authors, this book reviews the
fundamentals of wearable sensors, their function, design, fabrication and
implementation. Their application and advanced aspects including interface
electronics and signal processing for easy interpretation of data, data
transmission, data networking, data security, and privacy are also included.
