TinyOS and Wireless Body Sensors Network

TinyOS is an open-source operating system designed for wireless embedded sensor networks. It features a component-based architecture which enables rapid development. This OS has become a standard in the recent development of a Wireless Body Sensors Network and tmote sky platform. We shall develop algorithms for real time analysis of ECG using Pluto that is based on tmote sky. This platform can handle up to six different body sensors at a wireless range of 125m.

We shall also develop software and algorithms to embed acoustic sensors into this platform.

A good place to start is a recent PhD Thesis about Tele-Cardiology Sensor Network. Currently such networks are heavily researched at Harvard University and Hospitals in the Boston area under the CodeBlue initiative.

There are also open projects to BioMedical Engineering students in development of some sensors to this platform.

Blue Tooth Communication

Based on the new CSR – BlueVoxFlash device, http://www.csr.com/bluevoxflash/development.htm it is desired to develop a system that can receive sensory input of one to three channels and send to the computer for storage and analysis. Issues related to automatic gain, codec (compression) have to be addressed.
