Challenges of Physiological Signal Measurements Using Electrodes: Fudamentals to Understand the Instrumentation

초록

With an aging society and sedentary lifestyles around the world, the cost of health care becomes a significant challenge. People continuously seek new technologies for affordable but comfortable solutions to improve the efficiency of their health care. Recently, advances in miniaturized biosensor and data analysis have accelerated the health-care paradigm shift toward proactively managing wellness and changing personal lifestyle. It is easy to find accessories in various forms that integrate miniature and low-power biosensors continuously and unobtrusively sensing, processing, and transferring our physiological data. © 2009-2012 IEEE.
