Abstract :
We, proposers, are a professor and a Ph.D. student of the Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka City University, Osaka, Japan. In a two-year project financially supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan, we have developed a real-time vital signs monitoring system for men during exercise. Our (proposers) expertise is wireless communication and signal processing, and furthermore an academic researcher (MD, Ph.D.) in medicine, an academic researcher (Ph.D.) in sports physiology, and several industrial researchers (Ph.D.) in engineering have been involved in the project. The purpose of the system is not only medical and healthcare management (injury and disease prevention) but also effective sport training based on scientific data for ordinal people and athletes.
