“…To date biometric devices can be grouped into of three classes: High performance/quality EEG/EMG/ECG devices which are instrumented as laboratory tools [1], [2] or as small distance portable systems [3], [4], [5]; Wearable motion capture systems [6] provided with different flavours of sensing and wireless options [7], [8]; and low cost combined motion and EMG sensors which recently appeared on the market (Liveathos TM , and Myo TM ). Laboratory tools are very accurate and can be scaled to complex situations, but their settling prevent the portability of the system.…”

In the present paper we introduce a novel wireless system capable of simultaneously track and monitor the motion of the body and the associated muscular stress. The device provides with an array of four inertial and magnetic measurement units combined with up to 32 independent high sensitivity ADC channels. An embedded computing system does allow the high speed (4 KHz) EMG acquisition and filtering, combined with (100Hz) motion reconstruction and relevant features (20Hz) detection. The device connects to any receiving host using a portable server architecture and an extensible computing system which uses a web interface and a plugin architecture based on shared library.The device has been conceived to monitor body activities in application on-the-go, where the use of wired devices is not suitable and the need for a strict synchronizations among the motion reconstruction and the myo-electric signals is fundamental. In what follows we will describe the general architecture of the system, the embedded algorithms for motion and EMG reconstruction and the software architecture of the host system.

This article analyzes wireless communication protocols that could be used in healthcare environments (e.g., hospitals and small clinics) to transfer real-time medical information obtained from noninvasive sensors. For this purpose the features of the three currently most widely used protocols-namely, Bluetooth Ò (IEEE 802.15.1), ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4), and Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11)-are evaluated and compared. The important features under consideration include data bandwidth, frequency band, maximum transmission distance, encryption and authentication methods, power consumption, and current applications. In addition, an overview of network requirements with respect to medical sensor features, patient safety and patient data privacy, quality of service, and interoperability between other sensors is briefly presented. Sensor power consumption is also discussed because it is considered one of the main obstacles for wider adoption of wireless networks in medical applications. The outcome of this assessment will be a useful tool in the hands of biomedical engineering researchers. It will provide parameters to select the most effective combination of protocols to implement a specific wireless network of noninvasive medical sensors to monitor patients remotely in the hospital or at home.
