Abstract

A compact hardware for mobile medical sensor processing is described. In the following a platform with multiple communication interfaces including a proper energy concept is described. Thus hardware is provided for mobile sensor data processing, sensor fusion and communication to an external infrastructure. Emphasis was put on a compact design and high interface flexibility to standardized on-body sensors including Bluetooth, mobile standards, and accessibility to standard interfaces like LAN, SPI and I2C.
