Reihe: IEEE Press Series on Biomedical Engineering

A must-have compendium on biomedical telemetry for allbiomedical professional engineers, researchers, and graduatestudents in the field
Handbook of Biomedical Telemetry describes the maincomponents of a typical biomedical telemetry system, as well as itstechnical challenges. Written by a diverse group of experts in thefield, it is filled with overviews, highly-detailed scientificanalyses, and example applications of biomedical telemetry. Thebook also addresses technologies for biomedical sensing and designof biomedical telemetry devices with special emphasis onpowering/integration issues and materials for biomedical telemetryapplications.
Handbook of Biomedical Telemetry:
* Describes the main components of a typical biomedical telemetrysystem, along with the technical challenges
* Discusses issues of spectrum regulations, standards, andinteroperability--while major technical challenges related toadvanced materials, miniaturization, and biocompatibility issuesare also included
* Covers body area electromagnetics, inductive coupling, antennasfor biomedical telemetry, intra-body communications, non-RFcommunication links for biomedical telemetry (opticalbiotelemetry), as well as safety issues, human phantoms, andexposure assessment to high-frequency biotelemetry fields
* Presents biosensor network topologies and standards;context-aware sensing and multi-sensor fusion; security and privacyissues in biomedical telemetry; and the connection betweenbiomedical 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 healthcaresystem paradigms for monitoring and therapeutic intervention
Covering biomedical telemetry devices, biosensor networktopologies and standards, clinical applications, wearable andimplantable devices, and the effects on the mobile healthcaresystem, this compendium is a must-have for professional engineers,researchers, and graduate students.
