Abstract :
Recent activities at Queen Mary, University of London, relating to wearable wireless sensors research for healthcare applications are reviewed in this paper. The monitoring of blood glucose levels using non-invasive radio-based sensors is discussed. The analysis of on-body radio propagation channels is then presented, with an emphasis on variations related to activity.
