Bluetooth Sensors
ITIV Telemetry Platform: Bluetooth™ Sensors
Overview
Various medical sensors with telematic interface have been implemented during the previous work project of the group. There are two different types of sensors: sensors which have been developed completely at the ITIV and other standard sensors which have been upgraded with the Bluetooth™ technology. Using our telemetry modules the upgrading process is very easy. Certain standard Bluetooth™ devices can be integrated into our telemetry platform.
