Abstract
This paper proposes a processing architecture and a programming framework for the remote and seamless update of the algorithms used in the context of biomedical smart sensors. The generic processing architecture provides, among others, the following facilities to a Body Sensor Network in a seamless way to the user beyond functional modularity: 1) direct and immediate update with new and improved versions of the algorithms, 2) personalization of algorithms, 3) adaptability to the user context, 4) remote test of algorithms, 5) hardware reusability and sustainability, 6) parallel execution of several monitoring applications in one device, 7) structural modularity. Due to its simplicity, the proposed technique takes advantage over other solutions employed in applications that impose severe limitations on hardware/software resources of the devices, which may result in lower cost and size of them. The results obtained on two heart monitoring applications shows the viability of the proposed scheme.
