Publisher's Synopsis
With the rapid advances in nanotechnology, telecommunication and information technologies, efficient and reliable telemedicine (also known as remote point of care or remote healthcare), is now coming into practice. This new monograph in the ASME-Momentum Press series on Biomedical & Nanomedical Technologies discusses the development and application of mobile wearable nano-bio health monitoring systems for telemedicine. It shows how nanomaterials-based biosensors are used to remotely measure physiological signals, such as electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrooculogram (EOG). Case studies and the technical challenges still ahead wrap up this informative introduction to a rapidly evolving field.
