“Typical” Future Sensor Node • Matchbox Size • Battery Powered • Power-conserving processor – 100’s of MHz • 10’s of MB of program and data memory • Radio modem using TDMA • Capable of running a scaled down version of Palm OS or Windows CE
Biomedical Smart Sensors? ? • Smart Sensor – Biomedical sensor/actuator with integrated circuitry • Biomedical – Implanted in the human body • Form – Small with limited power, encased in inert material • Function – Alleviate chronic diseases and disabilities, monitor health
Biomedical Sensors are Unique! • • • Limited Computation and Data Storage Ultra Low Power Consumption Wireless Communication Continuous Operation Inaccessibility Bio-Compatibility – Material Constraints Robustness and Fault Tolerance Secure Data Communications Regulatory Requirements
Example Applications • • • Glucose Level Monitor Transplant Organ Viability Monitor Blood Monitor Retinal and Cortical Prosthesis Cancer Detection/Monitor Health Monitor
Retinal and Cortical Implant
Data Processing and Communication

Research Approach • Optimize across protocol layers • Organize communication among sensor nodes • Develop application-specific solutions • Take advantage of biomedical sensor features – fixed topology, pre-defined communication and known membership • Generalize these solutions
Research on Fixed Topologies • Vary # of Neighbors • Trade-offs Exist – Number of Hops – Number of Receivers – Amount of Contention • Evaluate Power Usage • Test Power-Aware Routing
Research on Fixed Topologies • Power-Aware Routing reduces Power Usage • 3 D is better than 2 D • 4 Neighbor Topology has lower Power Use • Reason is always fewer Receptions • Current work includes improving protocols
Research Objectives • Strict Power Management • Efficient Wireless Spectrum Use • Scalability – Support as Many Sensing Elements as Possible • Support Diagnostic Functionality • Standardize Design with Other Research Groups
