Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wearable Autonomous Wireless Electro-encephalography System Fully Powered by Human Body Heat
Tom Torfs,Vladimir Leonov,Refet Firat Yazicioglu,Patrick Merken,C. Van Hoof,Ruud Vullers,Bert Gyselinckx +6 more
TL;DR: A wearable, wireless 2-channel electro-encephalography system has been realized which functions fully autonomously, without any batteries, and is fully powered by human body heat using a thermo-electric generator.
Journal ArticleDOI
2-D Localization, Angular Separation and Vital Signs Monitoring Using a SISO FMCW Radar for Smart Long-Term Health Monitoring Environments
Marco Mercuri,Giulia Sacco,Rainer Hornung,Peng Zhang,Hubregt J. Visser,Martijn Hijdra,Yao-Hong Liu,Stefano Pisa,Barend van Liempd,Tom Torfs +9 more
TL;DR: A single-input and single-output (SISO) frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar architecture is proposed and in vivo demonstrated for remote 2-D localization (range and angular information) and vital signs monitoring of multiple subjects and can monitor accurately the vital signs of multiple Subjects within typical room settings.
Journal Article
Smart Wireless Sensors Integrated in Clothing: an Electrocardiography System in a Shirt Powered Using Human Body Heat
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency-Tracking CW Doppler Radar Solving Small-Angle Approximation and Null Point Issues in Non-Contact Vital Signs Monitoring
TL;DR: The proposed radar presents a unique architecture, using a single channel mixer, and allows to detect contactless vital signs parameters while solving the null point issue and without requiring the small angle approximation condition.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wireless network of autonomous environmental sensors
TL;DR: This ability for drastic miniaturization and the simultaneous addition of power autonomy while maintaining modularity and reusability contrast to existing work where wireless environmental sensor systems are at least one order of magnitude larger in volume or consisted of application-specific systems-on-a-chip.
