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）：本项目旨在开发一种先进的遥测系统，用于使用基于超宽带脉冲无线电技术的新型无线电装置的身体穿戴式连续血糖传感器。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边界。由于许多因素，人们对身体区域传感器网络的兴趣越来越大。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用于健康监测的传感器的能力和小型化程度。此外，美国老年人（65岁以上）的数量一直在增加，预计未来将继续显著增加。根据老龄化管理，2009年老年人口为3960万，预计到2030年将达到7210万。人们希望利用技术帮助老年人口维持独立生活，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，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无处不在，而不是最优的解决方案。随着智能手机和其他移动设备、无线家庭网络等的使用，这些技术的使用，更具体地说，它们所占据的频谱正在急剧增加，造成越来越多的干扰。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。提出的无线电技术提供了一种分层的安全方法，包括加密和距离边界。新设计还提供了一种独特的干扰检测方案，允许在数据包传输中间的干扰期间实时暂停和恢复。在传感器直接提供治疗决策的应用中，例如在人工胰腺中葡萄糖传感器和胰岛素泵之间的无线连接，安全链路对于患者保护是必要的。与现有的解决方案相比，这种提议的新无线链路将提供更高的安全性、更好的抗干扰能力和更低的运行功耗。我们已经组建了一支高素质的团队，与医疗设备设计师和制造商合作，成功开发了这一正在申请专利的设计，以确保商业成功。
