DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed project aims to develop an advanced telemetry system for body worn continuous glucose sensors using a new radio based on distance-bounded ultra wideband impulse radio technology for secure, reliable, low cost, low power body area sensor networks. There has been an increasing interest in body area sensor networks due to a number of factors. The technology for low power radios and microprocessors, due to improved silicon technologies, has dramatically increased the capabilities and miniaturization of sensors for health monitoring. Furthermore the number of older Americans (65+) has been increasing and is projected to continue to increase significantly in the future. According to the administration of aging, the older population numbered 39.6 million in 2009 and is estimated to be about 72.1 million in 2030. There is a desire to use technology to help the older population maintain independent lives for increased quality of life and decreased health care costs. There are many research projects and some products that use existing wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, and others. These technologies have been used primarily for their ubiquity as opposed to being the optimum solution. The use of these technologies and more specifically the frequency spectrum that they occupy is increasing dramatically with smartphones and other mobile devices, wireless home networks, etc. causing increasing levels of interference. Another issue with utilizing standard wireless technologies in their current state is privacy and security. The proposed radio technology will include a combination of security technologies including encryption and distance bounding to provide a reliable low power, low cost link. This is desired for applications where the sensor is being used to directly provide therapy decisions such as a wireless link between a glucose sensor and insulin pump. This proposed new wireless link will provide enhanced security, improved resilience to interference, and lower operating power than existing solutions.

描述（由申请人提供）：本拟议项目旨在开发一种用于身体佩戴连续血糖传感器的先进遥测系统，使用基于距离限制超宽带脉冲无线电技术的新型无线电，以实现安全、可靠、低成本、低功耗身体区域传感器网络。由于多种因素，人们对身体区域传感器网络越来越感兴趣。由于硅技术的改进，低功率无线电和微处理器技术极大地提高了健康监测传感器的功能和小型化程度。此外，美国老年人（65 岁以上）的数量一直在增加，并且预计未来将继续大幅增加。根据老龄化管理部门的数据，2009 年老年人口数量为 3960 万，预计到 2030 年将达到 7210 万左右。人们希望利用技术帮助老年人口保持独立生活，以提高生活质量并减少医疗保健费用成本。有许多研究项目和一些产品使用现有的无线技术，例如蓝牙、Zigbee 等。这些技术的使用主要是因为它们的普遍性，而不是最佳解决方案。这些技术的使用，更具体地说，它们所占用的频谱正在急剧增加，智能手机和其他移动设备、无线家庭网络等导致干扰水平不断增加。在当前状态下使用标准无线技术的另一个问题是隐私和安全。拟议的无线电技术将包括加密和距离限制等安全技术的组合，以提供可靠的低功耗、低成本链路。这对于使用传感器直接提供治疗决策的应用来说是理想的，例如葡萄糖传感器和胰岛素泵之间的无线链路。与现有解决方案相比，拟议的新无线链路将提供增强的安全性、更高的抗干扰能力以及更低的运行功率。
