Handbook of Biomedical Telemetry (eBook)

A must-have compendium on biomedical telemetry for all
biomedical professional engineers, researchers, and graduate
students in the field

Handbook of Biomedical Telemetry describes the main
components of a typical biomedical telemetry system, as well as its
technical challenges. Written by a diverse group of experts in the
field, it is filled with overviews, highly-detailed scientific
analyses, and example applications of biomedical telemetry. The
book also addresses technologies for biomedical sensing and design
of biomedical telemetry devices with special emphasis on
powering/integration issues and materials for biomedical telemetry
applications.

Handbook of Biomedical Telemetry:

* Describes the main components of a typical biomedical telemetry
system, along with the technical challenges

* Discusses issues of spectrum regulations, standards, and
interoperability--while major technical challenges related to
advanced materials, miniaturization, and biocompatibility issues
are also included

* Covers body area electromagnetics, inductive coupling, antennas
for biomedical telemetry, intra-body communications, non-RF
communication links for biomedical telemetry (optical
biotelemetry), as well as safety issues, human phantoms, and
exposure assessment to high-frequency biotelemetry fields

* Presents biosensor network topologies and standards;
context-aware sensing and multi-sensor fusion; security and privacy
issues in biomedical telemetry; and the connection between
biomedical telemetry and telemedicine

* Introduces clinical applications of Body Sensor Networks (BSNs)
in addition to selected examples of wearable, implantable,
ingestible devices, stimulator and integrated mobile healthcare
system paradigms for monitoring and therapeutic intervention

Covering biomedical telemetry devices, biosensor network
topologies and standards, clinical applications, wearable and
implantable devices, and the effects on the mobile healthcare
system, this compendium is a must-have for professional engineers,
researchers, and graduate students.
