The article is about sensium technology, a disposable digital strip that can be put on person’s check nest or arm that can monitor several areas of vital signs from heart rate, body temperature to respirations. This technology is designed for BAN (body area network) that communicates through wireless technology in which dispatches data from the body to a home base station. The strip should last a few days.
This is definitely a plus development for BAN. However, there is a set back because of mass data transmitting from patients. The article indicates that it can be improve by using a server instead of storing data. Information design plays a role with this development. The key is the organization of passing the data as visually effective as possible in the receiving end.
