Abstract

Long-term continuous monitoring of physiological data has great potential value to personalized health care; yet commercial technologies for this purpose are lacking. Commercial sensors have a short battery life, are expensive, lack wireless capability, and are often cumbersome [1, 2]. We present the design and implementation of iCalm: a comfortable wrist-worn, low-cost, low-power sensor module designed for continuous long-term physiological monitoring and compare its performance to an FDA-approved platform.
