Guest Editorial - Body Sensor Networks: Novel Sensors, Algorithms, Platforms, and Applications

Ubiquitous body-worn sensors and mobile devices have extensive applications in health monitoring and user guidance when combined with advanced algorithms. This special issue includes 13 papers, presenting novel approaches and trends in both sensor integration and data processing algorithms. It features some of the best papers from the International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN) in 2013 and 2014, as well as normal submissions to J-BHI on this topic. The scope of this paper spans from motion analysis to cardiac and respiratory monitoring, and from Electroencephalogram and Electromyogram processing to core body temperature estimation and radio propagation.
