Although current hospital recovery monitoring systems are effective during perioperative and early postoperative periods, they cannot be used when the patient is at home. Measuring and quantifying home recovery is currently a subjective and labor-intensive process. This case report highlights the development and piloting of a wireless body sensor network to monitor postoperative recovery at home in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The device consists of wearable sensors (vital signs, motion) combined with miniaturized computers wirelessly linked to each other, thus allowing continuous monitoring of patients in a pervasive (unobtrusive) manner in any environment. Initial pilot work with results in both the simulated (with volunteers) and the real home environment (with patients) is presented.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1553350607302326","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,8]],"date-time":"2007-06-08T23:52:29Z","timestamp":1181346749000},"page":"83-90","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["A Pervasive Body Sensor Network for Measuring Postoperative Recovery at Home"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"O.","family":"Aziz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosurgery and Surgical Technology,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Atallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Engineering Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Lo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Engineering Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"ElHelw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Engineering Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Engineering Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.Z.","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Engineering Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Darzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosurgery and Surgical Technology,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.5384"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7748\/ns.20.34.20.s27"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.bja.a013366"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-200110000-00013"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-200311000-00024"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1213\/00000539-200007000-00019","volume":"91","author":"Hogue SL","year":"2000","journal-title":"Anesth Analg."},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-002-8876-9"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00595-003-2582-7"},{"key":"atypb9","volume-title":"Wireless Sensor Network Systems: A Systems Perspective","author":"Bulusu N.","year":"2005"},{"key":"atypb10","volume-title":"Next century challenges: mobile networking for \u201csmart dust","author":"Kahn JM","year":"2000"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Warneke B., Last M., Liebowitz B., Pister Ksj.
