Abstract

This paper provides an appraisal of the sensor requirements and prospects available for the growing field of wearable medical sensors. The results of a literature survey for various sensor use-models indicate that the design goals for each intended sensor application must focus on task specific criteria for ultimate sensor acceptance. Provided use-models include the examination of the relevant medical problems, the diagnostic utility of the available physiologic signals, and the impact of false alarms on the specific implementation area.
