Bi-Fi: Just Like Your Doctor!
TS-3683

Bi-Fi is a state-of-the-art wireless patient-monitoring system derived from Smart Dust concepts and technologies. Remote evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients require biosensors that are enhanced through the use of telecommunications and networked computing technologies. Recent advances in low-power, distributed computing and communications technologies have yielded miniature-scale, wireless-enabled, battery-powered motes that can acquire, process, transmit, and receive signals over an indoor range of up to 30 meters. The Bi-Fi system is enabled by motes configured as biosensors through specialized hardware and software for efficient data acquisition, filtering, and transmission as part of a remote patient care delivery and monitoring system.

This session not only reveals the mystery of Bi-Fi's embedded system architecture but also shows you how the innovative use of Java technology lets you configure the mobile biosensors to acquire the biological signal of interest as well as browse archives of recorded data. The inherent flexibility granted by the Java technology-based services architecture allows access to the system by virtually any Internet-enabled device from anywhere in the world.

The fun is not over until you are Bi-Fi ed. Well, this session saves you a trip to the doctor...
