Wearable and implantable monitoring systems: 10 years experience at University of Ulster.
Over the past 10 years or more, NIBEC and, more recently, Sensor Technology and Devices Ltd have been at the forefront of developments in sensor-related technologies which underpin a wide range of monitoring systems presently commercialised by leading multinationals. Systems developed/ commercialised include astronaut-monitoring arrays, cardiac mapping harnesses, ECG electrodes, Telemedicine systems and implant sensor arrays. This paper presents the main developments in this area and discusses outstanding issues for future research.
