Semantic wireless body area networks.

In this paper we introduce the concept of semantic Wireless Body Area Network (sWBAN). First the method for semantic interpretation of body sensor data is developed. This method is then illustrated for the case of ECG monitoring, providing the user with real-time monitoring and interpretation of heart activity.

Potential and challenges of body area networks for cardiac monitoring.

This article gives an overview of results of the Human++ research program related to cardiac monitoring (http://www.imec-nl.nl/).
