WTI 2015 - Special Session on Wireless Transceivers Intended for Healthcare Applications

The Special Session on Wireless Transceivers Intended for Healthcare Applications will be held in conjunction with the 15th edition of the IEEE International Conference on Ubiquitous Wireless Broadband ICUWB’2015 in Montreal, Canada, from October 4th to 7th, 2015.
It is estimated that more than 90% of consumed power in any medical device is due to the wireless building block. This topic is becoming a top-level priority in most wearable and implantable medical devices such as biosensors and bio-stimulators that have to deal wherever applied with exponentially increasing needs not only in addressing various medical diseases but also in discovering various unknown phenomena in neuroscience at various cell levels, particularly in areas of brain sciences and cognition as well as various neural pathologies. The recent development of wireless transceivers attracted the attention of researchers from numerous fields of interest in order to solve the complexity of building high-data-rate ultra-low power-systems desperately needed to wirelessly transmit data from point of care to various healthcare destinations.
Topics of interest for this special session cover but are not limited to wireless platforms for:
? Implantable electronics
? Brain-machine/-computer interfaces
? Biosensor devices
? Body area/sensor networks
? Biofeedback: sensing and treatment
? Biomedical imaging technologies
? Mixed-signal transceiver topologies
