International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks: April 3-5 at MIT
The last decade has witnessed a rapid surge of interest in new sensing and monitoring devices for healthcare and the use of wearable/wireless devices and sensor networks for clinical applications. One key development in this area is implantable, in vivo monitoring and intervention devices. While the problems of long-term stability and biocompatibility are being addressed, several promising prototypes are starting to emerge for managing patients with acute diabetes, for treatment of epilepsy and other debilitating neurological disorders, and for the monitoring of patients with chronic cardiac diseases.
