Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the results of BMEC's Human++ research program. This program aims to achieve highly miniaturized and autonomous sensor systems that enable people to carry their personal body area network. The body area network will provide medical, lifestyle, assisted living, sports or entertainment functions. It combines expertise in wireless ultra-low power communications, packaging, 3D integration technologies, MEMS energy scavenging techniques and low-power design techniques.
