ABSNS 2014 - Special Session on "Advances in body sensor network and sensor data fusion: non-invasive sensor-based diagnostic techniques and wearable sensors"

This Special Session intends to encourage submission of original research papers concerning body sensor networks and sensor data fusion for health monitoring applications. Wearable sensors integrated into clothes can be used for diagnosing non-invasively pathologies or monitoring patients during their daily life. This represents an interesting frontier in healthcare, nevertheless several perspectives and open research problems have to be investigated such as data processing, sensor failure and reliability, fault-tolerance, maintenance, calibration and traceability issues. Therefore this Special Session aims to collect manuscripts that will give significant contributions in the field of
body sensor networks and sensor data fusion addressed to reliable and non-invasive diagnostic techniques or treatment of pathologies and diseases. Further topics concern the development of procedures for maintenance and calibration, reliability and failure assessment.
Main topics include:
body sensor networks
sensor array for health monitoring
sensor data fusion
fault-tolerance and reliability in BSN
wearable sensing systems
non-invasive sensor-based diagnostic techniques
sensor-based pathology treatment
non-invasive monitoring of human physiological data
maintenance and calibration
failure assessment
The Special Session aims to provide an overview of current developments on non-invasive diagnosis by using wearable sensors and body sensor networks.
