The advances in electronics allowed the development of smart miniature devices called medical sensors, that can collect physiological data from the human body and its surrounding and send it wirelessly to healthcare providers in order to help avoiding life threatening events. This article presents a general overview on the types of medical sensors, their properties, and the wireless technologies used to convey collected data. Also, this article is the first to provide a summary about the wearable sensors' brands available in the market, along with their interface and connection types.
This special issue on "Smart Sensors for Healthcare and Medical Applications" focuses on new sensing technologies, measurement techniques, and their applications in medicine and healthcare. We proposed this topic, being aware of the pivotal role that smart sensors can play for the improvement of healthcare services in both acute and chronic conditions as well as ...
Wearable devices are becoming widespread in a wide range of applications, from healthcare to biomedical monitoring systems, which enable continuous measurement of critical biomarkers for medical diagnostics, physiological health monitoring and evaluation. Especially as the elderly population grows globally, various chronic and acute diseases become increasingly ...
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) offer a promising platform for the development of electronicsassisted biomedical diagnostic sensors and microsystems. The long-standing industrial basis offers distinctive advantages for cost-effective, reproducible, and easily integrated sample-in-answer-out diagnostic microsystems. Nonetheless, the commercial techniques used in ...
This paper presents the design and realization of a context-aware wireless health monitoring system for recording the heartbeat (HR) and respiration (RR) rate based on an indirect measurement approach. The system consists of a contact-less medical sensor as well as a communication infrastructure for handling the transmission and reception of the measured results. ...
AOI MACHINE QUERY -- Hello I am looking for positive and negative feedback on this VISCOM S3088 BASIC AOI machine. If anyone has had the opportunity to work with this machine in the field of visual inspection of electronic boards, to ensure proper SMT assembly, and knows if it is a good machine, I would appreciate it. Easy to program? Complies with visual inspections, smt errors? easy to repair damage? Are spare parts expensive and easy to get? Thank you very much, I look forward to your comments.

Drying PCB after contamination measurement for rework ? -- I am currently working on a manufacturing flow where some PCBA are processed with reflow oven (after being baked before processing), then cleaned with bath, then passed into contaminometer, passed into AOI. The point is after all of this, if AOI detect some reworking is needed should I bake again the PCBA before using solder iron to correct this PCBA in order to avoid moisture development (considering it passed trough bath and contaminometer device)?
