Abstract :
A wearable RFID-enabled sensor node for continuous biomedical monitoring is investigated in this paper. Dielectric characterization of fabric substrates, inkjet-printing of conductive nano-particle silver ink, design of RFID antennas and integration of sensor active and passive devices were discussed in this paper. Preliminary experiments show that the RFID-enabled sensor node could be effective for biomedical applications.
