Scope:
With recent advances in wireless and sensing technologies, Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) are becoming widely accepted as technology of choice for ever increasing number of wearable, ubiquitous, and ambulatory health monitoring applications. Recent technological developments have enabled miniaturization and power efficiency of sensors, while mobile communication technologies have permitted real time monitoring and integration of data into applications for healthcare and human computer interaction. In healthcare, despite technological developments in sensing and monitoring devices, issues related to system integration, sensor miniaturization, low-power sensor interface circuitry design, wireless telemetric links and signal processing are active research fields. Other topics related to quality of service, security, multi-sensor data fusion, decision support and technological scaling are important for practical applications of BSNs.
