Description: Wearable and nearable medical sensors are gadgets and devices for everyday use, created by integrating various technologies in signal processing, power management, sensor design, and data transmission. These sensors can measure body motion, biopotentials, biochemical markers, body temperature, and blood volume. These sensors are integrated into wearable objects such as smartphones, smart watches with transmission capabilities. They may also be implanted directly inside or on the body to monitor health. Wearable and nearable medical sensors track clinically relevant data on a real-time basis, making them relevant for monitoring and preventing various diseases. These technologies can sense the vital body parameters related to various diseases, transfer the data to a remote center, and direct the patient to take a specific action. However, there are certain challenges like battery life, ergonomics, miniaturization, and technology integration to develop advanced wearable and nearable medical sensors. The book presents various advancements in wearable and nearable medical sensors and their applications in detail. It aims to equip students and experts with advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.
