A critical appraisal of opportunities for wearable medical sensors

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.
