NSF/FDA SIR: A Proposal to Characterize the RF channel for Wireless Communication between Medical Devices and Mobile Phones

摘要纽曼，金伯利通过美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）驻场学者计划，他们提议对商用医疗设备用于向医疗监测服务传输数据的无线通信信道的特性进行研究。无线通信链路的特性是FDA对集成智能手机的医疗设备进行监管审查所必需的。该项目的目的是建立一个测试程序，以评估医疗信息传输所需的移动通信，使用从简单的3G蜂窝电话到领先的智能手机平台的一系列无线设备。这项研究分两个阶段进行，第一阶段在消声室进行，在那里进行从医疗设备到电话连接的统计测量。在第二阶段，在包含基站通信的特定自然环境中生成一套测试程序。

Abstract#1229929Newman, KimberlyThrough the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Scholar in Residence program, they propose to conduct a study of the characteristics of the wireless communication channel used by commercially available medical devices to transmit data to medical monitoring services. Characterization of the wireless communication links is needed for FDA regulatory review of medical devices integrated with smart phones. The purpose of the project is to establish a testing procedure for evaluating mobile communication required for transport of medical information, using a range of wireless devices from simple 3G cellular phones to leading smart phone platforms. The research is conducted in two phases, the first one in an anechoic chamber where statistical measures of connectivity from a medical device to the phone are performed. In the second phase, a set of test procedures in specific natural environments that incorporate base station communication are generated.
