This proposal describes research involving the design of a new miniature, low power wireless integrated sensor platform for acquisition and control (WISe-PAC) that can be used to help monitor and communicate human vital signs. WISe-PAC will be used to create a biomedical device that can securely transmit patient temperature data to a medical monitoring network. It is intended that the device can ultimately be used in both hospital and home settings. The research will be carried out by a Canada wide multidisciplinary team of researchers, located at the Universities of Calgary, McGill, and Carleton. The work will also involve collaborations with medical researchers at the University of Calgary and the Calgary Health Region, and our industry partner Associated Health Systems. The work will be tested in the new "Medical Ward of the 21st Century" at the Foothills hospital. The research team will include prominent researchers with expertise in microelectronic integrated circuits, MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS), biomedical sensors, radio frequency integrated circuits for wireless communications, communication networks, and antenna design, and involve medical practitioners. The novelty of the proposed research is in: 1) the design of the biomedical sensors 2) the design of the wireless circuits that will permit users to remotely monitor and control these devices, 3) the ultra low power circuit designs that will be developed to scavenge energy from the environment, and that are resistant to interference, and 4) the integration of all components into a low cost device. The research is expected to subsequently lead to the development of an integrated framework of biomedical sensors for monitoring patient vital signs. The main targets of the research are to develop integrated biomedical systems that enhance patient safety in both the hospital and home settings, and reduce medical staff workloads. The commercial opportunities for Canadian companies to market such devices and systems world-wide are excellent.

该提案描述了一种新型微型、低功耗无线集成传感器采集和控制平台（WISe-PAC）的设计研究，该平台可用于帮助监测和传达人体生命体征。WISe-PAC将用于创建一种生物医学设备，可以将患者温度数据安全地传输到医疗监测网络。预期该器械最终可用于医院和家庭环境。这项研究将由加拿大范围内的多学科研究小组进行，该小组位于卡尔加里大学，麦吉尔大学和卡尔顿大学。这项工作还将涉及与卡尔加里大学和卡尔加里卫生区的医学研究人员以及我们的行业合作伙伴Associated Health Systems的合作。这项工作将在山麓医院新的“21世纪世纪医疗病房”进行测试。研究团队将包括在微电子集成电路，微机电系统（MEMS），生物医学传感器，无线通信射频集成电路，通信网络和天线设计方面具有专业知识的杰出研究人员，并涉及医疗从业人员。拟议研究的新奇在于：1）生物医学传感器的设计; 2）允许用户远程监控和控制这些设备的无线电路的设计; 3）超低功耗电路设计，将开发用于从环境中吸收能量，并且抗干扰;以及4）将所有组件集成到低成本设备中。该研究预计随后将导致开发用于监测患者生命体征的生物医学传感器的集成框架。该研究的主要目标是开发综合生物医学系统，以提高医院和家庭环境中的患者安全，并减少医务人员的工作量。加拿大公司在世界范围内销售这种设备和系统的商业机会非常好。
