Medical-grade systems are now able to be sent home with patients, alongside small, portable devices for monitoring sports performance, stress, and lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core ideas behind these devices originated about 130 years ago, but they are now made cheaply and are readily available in consumer devices like smart watches, as well as in new diagnostic instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMedical Devices and Data: Technology to Instrument the Body and Its Interpretation \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on three key questions: How do these new instruments work? How do they interpret their data? And when do they err? It also identifies the key factors that are driving this innovation further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text is written for those who would like to understand non-invasive medical instruments in more detail. It is written in an accessible manner, and no formal background in science, engineering, or medicine is required. Some equations are used where necessary, but calculus is avoided. This book explains the key ideas behind the advanced techniques used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll data, software, and figures used in this book are made available online at the following link: https: \/\/url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com\/s\/N28qCwpEkBHAJkEoyFQF8HJhX1S?domain=bitbucket.org\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the design and use of medical instrumentation, seeking to explain the data measured and how it relates to body processes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses what these devices mean: modern instruments give a whole range of indications: from basic (heart rate) to much more complicated (sleep quality score).
