Wireless Medical Systems and Algorithms: Design and Applications provides a state-of-the-art overview of the key steps in the development of wireless medical systems, from biochips to brain-computer interfaces and beyond. The book also examines some of the most advanced algorithms and data processing in the field.
Addressing the latest challenges and solutions related to the medical needs, electronic design, advanced materials chemistry, wireless body sensor networks, and technologies suitable for wireless medical devices, the text:
- Investigates the technological and manufacturing issues associated with the development of wireless medical devices
- Introduces the techniques and strategies that can optimize the performances of algorithms for medical applications and provide robust results in terms of data reliability
- Includes a variety of practical examples and case studies relevant to engineers, medical doctors, chemists, and biologists
Wireless Medical Systems and Algorithms: Design and Applications not only highlights new technologies for the continuous surveillance of patient health conditions, but also shows how disciplines such as chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine are merging to produce a new class of smart devices capable of managing and monitoring a wide range of cognitive and physical disabilities.
"This 10-chapter text provides a sampling of discourses on the current state of the art in several areas of wireless medical system development and related algorithm developments. Five chapters cover topics in technologies and manufacturing, five cover areas of algorithms and data processing. Twenty-eight authors were involved in these chapters, the text is one of a series edited by K. Iniewski titled Devices, Circuits and Systems. This text is a specialty text, a familiarity with the subject matter and acronyms is necessary to fully appreciate the content of most of the material presented.
Overall, this text should be a good current reference source for persons looking at potential developments involving technologically current areas of work in wireless medical device development. Each of the chapters are well-written, succinct, and well referenced."- Paul H. King, Vanderbilt University
"This book gives an overview of recent and proposed advancements in the field of wireless medical systems. It is an emerging and rapidly expanding field, and this book does a good job of introducing the reader to the different aspects of developing such systems, be it developing the hardware or the algorithms on which the systems are based. The book is a good mechanism for increasing exposure in the area for beginners and also interested readers." -IEEE Wireless Communications, August 2016
