Abstract :

The rapid growth in sensing and monitoring in medical care demands acquiring and analyzing a large amount of data. At the same time, advances in nanometer electronic systems, compressive sensing based information process and cloud computing technologies have empowered us with great potentials in high speed data analysis. The grand challenge for modern data acquisition system is therefore how to effectively extract useful information at high rates using a vast amount of signals/data. Over the past several years, great efforts have been invested into analog-to-information converter (AIC) to acquire raw sample at a low rate while accurately reconstructing the compressed signals. However, it is not known how these new developments would bring changes to telemedicine. The key components under investigations were analog-to-digital converters, random filtering, demodulations and efficient cyber security designs. Little has been revealed on how to build circuits that can create ?good? measurement matrix. We believe that ?good? quality not only refers to effective selection matrix but also includes circuit implementation cost (i.e. power and area consumptions), as well as the cost on secure measurement data. Not to mention that the existing works also neglect the fact that the high complexity in the reconstruction algorithms demand high performance computing facilities.
