Electronic wireless sensors could cut medical costs by enabling physicians to remotely monitor vital signs such as blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood oxygenation while patients remain at home. According to the IDC report "Worldwide Bluetooth Semiconductor 2008-2012 Forecast," published November 2008, a forthcoming radio frequency communication ("wireless connectivity") standard, Bluetooth low energy, will link wireless sensors via radio signals to the 70% of cell phones and computers likely to be fitted with the next generation of Bluetooth wireless technology, leveraging a ready-built infrastructure for data transmission. Analysis of trends indicated by this data can help physicians better manage diseases such as diabetes. The technology also addresses the concerns of cost, compatibility, and interoperability that have previously stalled widespread adoption of wireless technology in medical applications.
电子无线传感器可通过让医生在患者居家时远程监测血压、血糖和血氧饱和度等生命体征，从而降低医疗成本。根据2008年11月发布的国际数据公司（IDC）报告《2008 - 2012年全球蓝牙半导体预测》，即将推出的一种射频通信（“无线连接”）标准——低功耗蓝牙，将通过无线电信号把无线传感器与70%可能配备下一代蓝牙无线技术的手机和电脑连接起来，利用现成的数据传输基础设施。分析这些数据所显示的趋势有助于医生更好地管理糖尿病等疾病。该技术还解决了此前阻碍无线技术在医疗应用中广泛采用的成本、兼容性和互操作性等问题。
