1059673 This EAGER award is to support collaboration by Dr. Magdi Iskander, University of Hawaii, Manoa and Dr. Hala Elsadek, Electronics Research Institute, Cairo, Egypt as well as with Dr. Christian Pichot, University of Nice, France and Dr. Zhijun Zhang, Tsinghua University in China. They plan to develop novel non-invasive microwave vital signs sensor and low-cost wireless tele-healthcare system for monitoring remote patients. Based on results from this EAGER grant, the PI plans to submit a multi-institution proposal to NSF PIRE and the US-Egypt Joint Fund programs.Intellectual merit: This project is to develop wireless monitoring system for several vital signs. The scientists plan a comprehensive study, which includes the sensors, the DSP algorithms for data-transfer capabilities, and design and implementation of the microwave integrated circuits. They plan to use an array of distributed microwave sensors to simultaneously and continuously monitor several functions at multiple organs. Their aim of using reflection measurement, instead of transmission measurement, could eventually simplify the system, which leads to significant cost reductions. The described research falls strongly into the innovation category, which is a priority for NSF funding. The concept of a microwave stethoscope instrument, which is based upon reflection and absorption of microwave energy is novel, with good prospects for success. A qualified team of researchers has been assembled, and all are well positioned to perform the research. Broader Impact: The PIs will develop the proposed system in collaboration with researchers from international institutions in France, Egypt and China. The international collaboration appears to be genuine, and enriches the potential research outcomes. The tasks to be performed by the collaborators are clearly outlined. The possibility of producing low-cost monitoring systems is of particular interest to countries participating in this project. Several students will be trained on the various technical aspects of this project. The interactions with international researchers and students in other countries can only enrich their educational experience. This award is co-funded by the US-France Program and the US-Egypt Program in the Office of International Science and Engineering, and by The Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems.

1059673该EAGER奖项旨在支持夏威夷大学马诺阿分校Magdi Iskander博士和埃及开罗电子研究所Hala Elsadek博士以及法国尼斯大学Christian Pichot博士和中国清华大学张志军博士的合作。他们计划开发新型无创微波生命体征传感器和低成本无线远程医疗系统，用于监测远程患者。根据EAGER拨款的结果，PI计划向NSF PIRE和美国-埃及联合基金项目提交一份多机构提案。智力优势：本课题为多种生命体征无线监测系统的开发。科学家们计划进行一项全面的研究，其中包括传感器、数据传输能力的DSP算法，以及微波集成电路的设计和实现。他们计划使用一组分布式微波传感器来同时连续监测多个器官的几个功能。他们的目标是使用反射测量，而不是透射测量，最终可以简化系统，从而显著降低成本。所描述的研究属于创新范畴，这是NSF资助的优先事项。微波听诊器是一种基于微波能量反射和吸收的新型听诊器，具有良好的应用前景。一个合格的研究团队已经组建，所有人都有能力进行研究。更广泛的影响：pi将与来自法国、埃及和中国的国际机构的研究人员合作开发拟议的系统。国际合作似乎是真实的，并丰富了潜在的研究成果。合作者要完成的任务有清晰的概述。生产低成本监测系统的可能性是参与该项目的国家特别关心的问题。几名学生将接受关于这个项目的各种技术方面的培训。与其他国家的国际研究人员和学生的互动可以丰富他们的教育经验。该合同由国际科学与工程办公室的美法项目和美埃及项目以及电气、通信和网络系统部门共同资助。
