The system includes continuous collection and evaluation of multiple vital signs, intelligent multiparameter medical emergency detection, and a cellular connection to a medical center. By integrating the whole system in an unobtrusive, wrist-worn enclosure and applying aggressive low-power design techniques, continuous long-term monitoring can be performed without interfering with the patients’ everyday activities and without restricting their mobility. In the first two and a half years of this EU IST sponsored project, the AMON consortium has designed, implemented, and tested the described wrist-worn device, a communication link, and a comprehensive medical center software package. The performance of the system has been validated by a medical study with a set of 33 subjects. The paper describes the main concepts behind the AMON system and presents details of the individual subsystems and solutions as well as the results of the medical validation. date: 2004-12 date_type: published publisher: IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC official_url: https://doi.org/10.1109/TITB.2004.837888 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1200835 doi: 10.1109/TITB.2004.837888 lyricists_name: Ward, Jamie lyricists_id: JAWAR26 full_text_status: public publication: IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine volume: 8 number: 4 pagerange: 415-427 pages: 13 issn: 1558-0032 citation: Anliker, U; Ward, JA; Lukowicz, P; Troster, G; Dolveck, F; Baer, M; Keita, F; ...
