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）：本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体戴式持续葡萄糖探头开发一种先进的遥测系统。该无线电具有超低功耗和多层安全性，包括安全，可靠和低成本的体域传感器网络的距离绑定。由于多种因素，体域传感器网络受到越来越多的关注。由于硅技术的改进，低功率无线电和微处理器技术大大提高了健康监测传感器的能力和小型化。此外，美国老年人（65岁以上）的人数一直在增加，预计未来将继续大幅增加。根据老龄化管理局的数据，2009年老年人口为3960万，预计2030年将达到7210万。人们希望利用技术来帮助老年人维持独立的生活，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，如蓝牙和Zigbee的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。这些技术的使用以及更具体地它们占用的频谱随着智能电话和其他移动的设备、无线家庭网络等引起增加的干扰水平而急剧增加。在当前状态下利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性的分层方法，包括加密和距离限制。新的设计还提供了一个独特的干扰检测方案，允许在数据包传输过程中的干扰期间进行真实的时间暂停和恢复。对于传感器用于直接提供治疗决策的应用（例如葡萄糖传感器与人工胰腺中的胰岛素泵之间的无线链路），安全链路对于患者保护是必要的。这一拟议中的新无线链路将提供增强的安全性、更好的抗干扰能力，以及比现有解决方案更低的工作功率。我们组建了一支高素质的团队，并与医疗器械设计师和制造商合作开发了这一专利申请设计，以确保商业成功。
