2010 International Conference on Body Sensor Networks (BSN 2010)
Body sensor networks (BSN) technology has gained tremendous international interest in recent years from researchers both in academia and industry. With the development of innovative wearable/wireless/implantable biosensors, the applications for BSNs extend from in-vivo monitoring and intervention to everyday healthcare, as well as fitness, sport and security. This conference will address the fast-growing BSN research field, and offers participants a unique forum to discuss the key issues and innovative solutions in current BSN research.
Date: June 7-9, 2010
Venue: Biopolis, Singapore
ESPRIT Project Launch Event
One of the biggest challenges facing sports technology today is understanding precisely how elite athletes achieve their feats. This requires pervasive sensing to extract continuous, unperturbed information under normal training and competition environments. The creation of miniaturised wearable sensors with ultra-low power, high portability and robustness for athletic analysis is a formidable challenge.
To maximise the potential of GB athletes and to support the quest for gold at future World Championships, Olympic and Paralympic Games, the UK's sports governing bodies and research councils have identified the opportunity for the engineering and physical science disciplines to support and interact with the sports community. Not only will this secure a competitive advantage for UK athletes, it will also increase our understanding of the biology of athletic performance and lead to improvements in the health and wellbeing of the population at large.
ESPRIT is a new research project funded by EPSRC that focuses on the following technologies:
- Generalised Body Sensor Networks
Optimised Sensor Design and Embodiment
- Learning, Data Modelling and Performance Optimisation
- Device and Technology Innovation
The vision of ESPRIT is to position UK at the forefront of pervasive sensing in elite sports and to promote its wider application in public life-long health, wellbeing and healthcare. The project programme represents a unique synergy of leading UK research in body sensor networks (BSN), biosensor design, sports performance monitoring and equipment design.
