Practical Biomonitoring using Wireless Technology
NAE / IOM Workshop “Engineering and the Health Care System” Mar 11-12,, 2003 Practical Biomonitoring using Wireless Technology Thomas F. Budinger M.D., Ph.D. Department of Nuclear medicine and Functional Imaging, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Departments of Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, UCB; Department of Radiology, UCSF.

Concepts of This Presentation
Health care improvements which require better engineering and in some cases new engineering in the area of monitoring How wireless interfaces can simplify hospital and home care (e.g., pO2, apnea) What current engineering can do to assist the care-giver What near future nano-technology might do If we could do everything or anything, what would we do -- for infants, for home care?
3
Biomonitoring Medical Alert Network Personal Health Status
Three areas of development: Medical Alert Network (No reliable user-friendly system) Falls Cardiac arrest Trauma Missing persons Personal Health Status (Innovations needed) Bio MEMS Devices Home Care System (Major contemporary industry) Medication and Physiologic Status
