Remote
sensing
The increasingly
widespread use of sensors that allow often passive responses to external
stimulae will continue to change the way we respond to the environment,
particularly in the area of health. Examples include sensors that continually
monitor bodily function – such as heart rate, blood oxygen and blood sugar
levels – and, if necessary, trigger a medical response such as insulin
provision. Advances rely on wireless communication between devices, low
power-sensing technologies and, sometimes, active energy harvesting. Other
examples include vehicle-to-vehicle sensing for improved safety on the road.
