Body-worn Wireless Physiological Monitoring Network

This STTR Phase II proposal continues our work towards building a simple, high quality and unobtrusive mobile physiological sensor platform. The capabilities of the Phase I prototype will be expanded by adding sensors to further acquire SpO2 and respiration in addition to forming a body area network for data collection across multiple points on a subjects body. A software infrastructure will also be built to acquire data in an open format for easy collection and integration into custom DoD and other customer applications. In addition to further developing and hardening the technology for field use, we will work with Navy partners to test the system in real-world environments and assess reliability, usability and comfort. Based on user feedback, the design will be further refined.The end result of the Phase II research shall be a near-finished, pre-production quality prototype (TRL 7) ready for demonstration to acquisition partners and other customers.
