Wearable, embedded sensor systems for health applications are foreseen to be enablers in the future healthcare. They will provide ubiquitous monitoring of multiple parameters without restricting the person to stay at home or in the hospital. By following trend changes in the health status, early deteriorations will be detected and treatment can start earlier. Also health prevention will be supported. Such future healthcare requires technology development, including miniaturized sensors, smart textiles and wireless communication. The tremendous amount of data generated by these systems calls for both signal processing and decision support to guarantee the quality of data and avoid overflow of information. Safe and secure communications have to protect the integrity of the persons monitored.
用于健康应用的可穿戴嵌入式传感器系统有望成为未来医疗保健的推动者。它们将提供对多个参数的无处不在的监测，而不会限制人们只能呆在家里或医院里。通过跟踪健康状况的趋势变化，可以检测到早期恶化情况，并能更早地开始治疗。此外，还将支持健康预防。这种未来的医疗保健需要技术发展，包括小型化传感器、智能纺织品和无线通信。这些系统产生的大量数据需要信号处理和决策支持，以保证数据质量并避免信息过载。安全可靠的通信必须保护被监测人员的隐私。
