Popis: Unobtrusive and continuous measurement of body parameters such as activity, movement, heartbeat, temperature and oxygen level in blood offers many opportunities in the health and fitness area: distant patient monitoring, rehabilitation support, activity stimulation, improved training programs in sports and even sleep management become possible. Enablers are small wireless body sensors that send the data to a computer or communication device. A key factor in many such applications is unobtrusiveness to the user. This requires miniaturization and, consequently, a high level of integration. Contrary to planar integration, 3D Si-level integration allows reduction of area and combination of different technologies.
