Wearable Sensors

Long-term analysis of physiological parameters requires the implementation of integrated sensors, connected together in a wireless body area network (WBAN), as well as embedded signal-processing tools for real-time data mining. This challenge is a major issue for an efficient implementation of health monitoring at home. Using advanced technology in electronic integration and wireless connectivity, the Biomedical Sensors Group develop new werable sensors, such as EmoSense (heart rate, electrodermal activity, skin temperature), Hematron (skin micro-bloodflow), BCT or VigiTherm patch (body core temperature), ActiMed or VigiFall (physical activity, fall detection), which have enabled in-situ experimentations: out of laboratory and in real-life conditions.
