DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed project aims to develop an advanced telemetry system for body worn continuous glucose sensors using a new radio based on ultra-wideband impulse radio technology. The proposed radio features ultra-low power and multiple layers of security including distance-bounding for secure, reliable, and low cost body area sensor networks. There has been an increasing interest in body area sensor networks due to a number of factors. The technology for low power radios and microprocessors, due to improved silicon technologies, has dramatically increased the capabilities and miniaturization of sensors for health monitoring. Furthermore the number of older Americans (65+) has been increasing and is projected to continue to increase significantly in the future. According to the administration of aging, the older population numbered 39.6 million in 2009 and is estimated to be about 72.1 million in 2030. There is a desire to use technology to help the older population maintain independent lives for increased quality of life and decreased health care costs. There are many research projects and some products that use existing wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and Zigbee for body area sensor networks. These technologies have been used primarily for their ubiquity as opposed to being the optimum solution. The use of these technologies and more specifically the frequency spectrum that they occupy is increasing dramatically with smartphones and other mobile devices, wireless home networks, etc. causing increasing levels of interference. Another issue with utilizing standard wireless technologies in their current state is privacy and security. The proposed radio technology provides a layer approach to security including encryption and distance bounding. The new design also offers a unique interference detection scheme that allows for real time pauses and resumption during interference in the middle of packet transfers. A secure link is necessary for patient protection for applications where the sensor is being used to directly provide therapy decisions such as a wireless link between a glucose sensor and an insulin pump in an artificial pancreas. This proposed new wireless link will provide enhanced security, improved resilience to interference, and lower operating power than existing solutions. We have assembled a highly qualified team with proven success to develop this patent pending design with a partnership with a medical device designer and manufacturer to ensure commercial success.

描述（由申请人提供）：该拟议项目旨在使用基于超宽带脉冲无线电技术的新型无线电，为身体佩戴的连续血糖传感器开发先进的遥测系统。所提出的无线电具有超低功耗和多层安全性，包括安全、可靠和低成本身体区域传感器网络的距离限制。由于多种因素，人们对身体区域传感器网络越来越感兴趣。由于硅技术的改进，低功率无线电和微处理器技术极大地提高了健康监测传感器的功能和小型化程度。此外，美国老年人（65 岁以上）的数量一直在增加，预计未来将继续大幅增加。根据老龄化管理部门的数据，2009年老年人口数量为3960万，预计到2030年将达到7210万左右。人们希望利用技术帮助老年人口保持独立生活，以提高生活质量并降低医疗保健费用。有许多研究项目和一些产品使用现有的无线技术（例如蓝牙和 Zigbee）用于身体区域传感器网络。这些技术的使用主要是因为它们的普遍性，而不是最佳解决方案。这些技术的使用，更具体地说，它们所占用的频谱正在急剧增加，智能手机和其他移动设备、无线家庭网络等导致干扰水平不断增加。在当前状态下使用标准无线技术的另一个问题是隐私和安全。所提出的无线电技术提供了一种安全层方法，包括加密和距离限制。新设计还提供了独特的干扰检测方案，允许在数据包传输过程中出现干扰时实时暂停和恢复。对于使用传感器直接提供治疗决策的应用（例如人工胰腺中葡萄糖传感器和胰岛素泵之间的无线链接），安全链接对于保护患者是必要的。与现有解决方案相比，拟议的新无线链路将提供增强的安全性、更高的抗干扰能力以及更低的运行功率。我们组建了一支高素质的团队，并与医疗设备设计师和制造商合作开发这一正在申请专利的设计，并取得了成功，以确保商业成功。
