With the rapid advances in nanotechnology, telecommunication and information technologies, efficient and reliable telemedicine (also known as remote point of care or remote healthcare), is now coming into practice. This new monograph in the ASME-Momentum Press series on Biomedical & Nanomedical Technologies discusses the development and application of mobile wearable nano-bio health monitoring systems for telemedicine. It shows how nanomaterials-based biosensors are used to remotely measure physiological signals, such as electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrooculogram (EOG). Case studies and the technical challenges still ahead wrap up this informative introduction to a rapidly evolving field.

Vijay K. Varadan is currently the Twenty-First Century Endowed Chairin Nano-and Bio-Technology and Medicine, and Distinguished Professorof Electrical Engineering and Distinguished Professor of BiomedicalEngineering (College of Engineering) and Neurosurgery (College ofMedicine) at University of Arkansas. He is also a Professor of Neurosurgeryat the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine. He also holdshonorary doctorate degrees in Nano-, and Bio-Technologies and Medicinefrom India. He joined the University of Arkansas in January 2005 afterserving on the faculty of Cornell University, Ohio State University andPennsylvania State University for the past 39 years. He is also the Directorof the Center of Excellence for Nano-, Micro-, and Neuro-Electronics,Sensors and Systems and the Director of the NSF Center for WirelessNanosensors and Systems (WiNS). He is also a Director of the GlobalInstitute of Nanotechnology in Engineering and Medicine (GINTEM).The purpose of this Institute is to create a global effort to solve current andfuture medical concerns using advanced nanotechnologies by developingResearch Hospitals at selected overseas countries.
