The 8-channel EEG developed by IMEC and the Holst Centre uses a ultra low-power analog readout ASIC to wirelessly monitor patients while increasing the level of human comfort while being monitored. The system uses very low power, 1.8 mA, allowing a 160 mAh Li-ion battery to operate the system for 3 days. Wolfgang Eberle, Senior Scientist/Project Manager Bioelectric Systems and Lindsay Brown Researcher, Body Area Network take Joe Desposito of Electronic Design Magazine on a tour of this compact medical system.
