It is about a framework for developing Body Sensor Network applications. Using the framework, developers can avoid avoid managing hardware configuration and communication scheduling and focus on application logic.

An excerpt from the introduction:

Wireless Body Sensor Networks (also known as bodynets or Body Area Networks) have the potential to revolutionize healthcare. These networks are comprised of wearable devices with attached sensors that can measure various physiological and environmental signals. Bodynet devices communicate wirelessly with networked gateways (mobile phones, computers and PDAs) which store, analyze and communicate vital information in real-time. A bodynet can be designed to immediately alert emergency personnel to a critical situation like a heart attack or a debilitating fall. Bodynets can also help physicians catch warning signs of a disease earlier or remotely monitor the progress of a recovering surgery patient.

Body Sensor Networks free a patient from the confines of a laboratory but still enable monitoring by researchers and clinicians. Researchers can study illnesses in real world settings without intrusive video equipment. Clinicians can gain a broader view of a patient’s health without increasing office visits.

I am very happy and also very exhausted.
