Abstract :
Advances in energy harvesting, low-power radios, and biometric sensing have enabled new applications in medical and scientific monitoring. In medicine, unobtrusive biosensors promise to wirelessly relay critical patient information including temperature, heart rate, or blood pressure. This paper describes key technologies needed to integrate complex, wirelessly-powered health monitors.
