The achievement of high-level athletic performance is increasingly associated to careful monitoring of all key metabolic and physiological functions, both during the effort and during the recuperation phases. To provide the necessary accurate, integrated and long-term assessment and feedback, the target wearable personal health system must sense, acquire, monitor and analyze a large number of physiological and metabolic parameters, both during physical activity and rest. Within this project, we investigate the design of such an advanced personal health monitoring system based on Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSN) technology.
More specifically, the WBSN will consist of a number of sensor nodes attached to the patient body. Each WBSN node ensures the accurate sensing and capture of its target physiological data, its (pre-) processing and wireless communication to the wearable Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
