“…A flexible, robust and light weight antenna can play a significant role in wireless power transmission related to wearable sensors. A novel wideband polarized textile antenna for low-power transmission in the 2.45 GHz ISM band has been presented [92]. The wide impedance and axial ratio bandwidths make it suitable for low microwave power transmission to a wearable sensor system.…”

An increase in world population along with a significant aging portion is forcing rapid rises in healthcare costs. The healthcare system is going through a transformation in which continuous monitoring of inhabitants is possible even without hospitalization. The advancement of sensing technologies, embedded systems, wireless communication technologies, nano technologies, and miniaturization makes it possible to develop smart systems to monitor activities of human beings continuously. Wearable sensors detect abnormal and/or unforeseen situations by monitoring physiological parameters along with other symptoms. Therefore, necessary help can be provided in times of dire need. This paper reviews the latest reported systems on activity monitoring of humans based on wearable sensors and issues to be addressed to tackle the challenges.Index Terms-Wearable sensors, smart sensors, sensor networks, wireless sensor networks, body sensor networks, body area networks, activity monitoring, assisted living, smart home, physiological parameters monitoring.1530-437X He is currently a Professor of Sensing Technology with the School of Engineering and Advanced Technology, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand.

“…They are low profile and robust, but require a ground plane or EBG substrate with dimensions larger than those of the patch to adequately shield the body of the human wearer from the radiating antenna. Designs that do not use such a technique suffer from large degradation of radiation performance and high Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values when placed in too close proximity of the body [16], [17]. They require thick textile layers to provide sufficient spacing before they can be used in a practical application.…”

Ubiquitous or Pervasive Computing is an increasingly used term throughout the technology industry and is beginning to enter the consumer electronics space in its most recent form under the umbrella term: "Internet of Things". One area of focus is in augmenting the home with intelligent, networked sensors and computers to create a Smart Home which opens a host of possibilities for the role of tomorrow's dwelling. As the world's population continues to live longer and consequently experience more medical-related ailments, at the same time institutional healthcare is struggling to cope, the role of the Smart Home becomes paramount to monitoring a dweller's health and providing any necessary intervention. This study looks at the history of Smart Home Healthcare, current research areas, and potential areas of future investigation. Unique categorisations are presented in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Personal Sensors, and a thorough look at the application of Smart Home Healthcare is presented. Technology can augment traditional methods of healthcare delivery and in some cases completely replace it. Costs can be reduced and medical adherence can be increased, all of which contribute to a more sustainable and effective model of care.
