Abstract

This article gives an overview of results of the Human++ research program related to cardiac monitoring (http://www.imec-nl.nl/). This research aims to achieve highly miniaturized and nearly autonomous sensor systems that assist our health and comfort. It combines expertise in wireless ultra-low-power communications, packaging and 3D integration technologies, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) energy scavenging techniques, and low-power design techniques.
