Wireless biomonitoring, first used in human beings for fetal heart-rate monitoring more than 30 years ago, has now become a technology for remote sensing of patients' activity, blood pulse pressure, oxygen saturation, internal pressures, orthopedic device loading, and gastrointestinal endoscopy. Technical advances in miniaturization and wireless communications have enabled development of monitoring devices that can be made available for general use by individuals/patients and caregivers. New methods for short-range wireless communications not encumbered by radio spectrum restrictions (e.g., ultra-wideband) will enable applications of wireless monitoring without interference in ambulatory subjects, in home care, and in hospitals.

无线通信的生物监测。

无线生物监测技术在人类30多年前首次用于胎儿心率监测中，如今已成为一种用于远程监测患者活动，脉搏压，血氧饱和度，内压，骨科器械负荷和胃肠道内窥镜检查的技术。小型化和无线通信方面的技术进步已使监视设备的开发成为可能，这些监视设备可被个人/患者和护理人员普遍使用。不受无线电频谱限制（例如，超宽带）限制的短距离无线通信的新方法将使无线监视的应用不受移动对象，家庭护理和医院的干扰。
