Abstract :
This paper presents the design and development of BioLogger, a wireless physiological signal sensing and logging system. BioLogger can simultaneously monitor and record various types of physiological signals. Energy saving design is incorporated to both hardware and software design phases in order to prolong the life time of sensor nodes. Moreover, a simple scheduler is implemented to make sure the emergency would not be missed.
