智能可穿戴医疗系统和应用程序 (SWHSA) 的研究和开发的动机是成功应对医疗保健挑战，即降低医疗保健成本，同时保持高质量的护理，提供无处不在的便捷医疗服务，并通过健康计划将医疗保健支出的重点从治疗转向预防。迄今为止，SWHS 的生理监测主要涉及生命体征的测量，如心电图、心率、呼吸频率、皮肤温度和姿势。有一种趋势是将监测能力扩展到生化变量。有几种有前途的技术可以以纯粹无创、无痛的方式实现这种类型的监测。因此，人们可以设想将非侵入性透皮生物传感器集成到 SWHS 中；例如，集成到生物医学服装中。智能生物医学服装（IBC）的未来发展基于衣服内传感器/执行器、能源、处理和通信的全面集成，可以克服现有可穿戴医疗系统的障碍。 SWHSA领域在EC的FP6（框架计划5）中得到进一步发展，通过对基于微/纳米技术、纺织材料、生理学、生物学/生物化学和ICT（信息和通信技术）等多种技术和学科集成的新功能化系统以及数据集成和决策支持的大力支持。预计该领域也将在 FP7 内得到进一步开发。
Research and development on smart wearable health systems and applications (SWHSA) was motivated by the need to respond successfully to the healthcare challenges of reducing healthcare costs while maintaining a high quality of care, providing ubiquitous easy access to care, and shifting the focus of healthcare expenditure from treatment to prevention through wellness programs. Physiological monitoring with SWHS has so far dealt mostly with measurement of vital signs like ECG, heart rate, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and posture. There is a trend to extend monitoring capabilities toward biochemical variables. There are several promising techniques for achieving this type of monitoring in a purely noninvasive, painless way. One could thus envisage the integration of noninvasive transdermal biosensors in SWHS;e.g., in biomedical clothes. The future development of intelligent biomedical clothing (IBC) based on full integration of sensors/actuators, energy sources, processing, and communication within the clothes could overcome barriers to existing wearable health systems. The area of SWHSA is further developed in FP6 (Framework Program 5) of the EC, through significant support of new functionalized systems based on the integration of several technologies and disciplines such as micro/nanotechnologies, textile materials, physiology, biology/biochemistry, and ICT (information and communication technologies) as well as data integration and decision support. This area is expected also to be further developed within FP7.
