Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) and sensor technologies are rapidly transforming healthcare and personal monitoring by integrating advanced sensing devices with unobtrusive communication systems.

Last summer, Northwestern University researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker — a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it’s no longer needed.

In a new study, researchers describe a novel approach for a wireless communication network that can efficiently transmit, receive and decode data from thousands of microelectronic chips that are each ...

The MetaSensors have a 15-hour battery life. The high-bandwidth, low-latency (10 ms), low-power radio sends information to the MetaSense Hub that captures the data and sends it to a PC or mobile ...

The landscape of distributed sensors and the growing demand for higher fidelity data in industrial, in-building, facility management, and for customer/audience analytics have been steadily growing and ...

Since manufacturers rely on various critical equipment, they often cannot effectively monitor each one. Major technical issues ensue if a problem goes undetected for long enough, making unplanned ...

What does this mean for companies that have built their own disruptive tech offerings around wireless sensors? Maybe less than you'd think. 3D printing is now synonymous with disruption innovation. A ...
