Abstract
CSEM has designed several vital sign monitoring systems based on different technologies and topologies, either with centralized electronics and distributed passive electrodes, or smart electrodes with embedded electronics. The advantage of the integrated electrodes is that they no longer require a separate electronic box. However, the main challenges are weight, size, user comfort and, as a consequence, autonomy. Other issues are sealing, biocompatibility, easy-to-use interface and smart power management to reduce the energy consumption, when not used.
