DESCRIPTION:More than half of deaths worldwide are due to the top 10 causes
 \, such as ischemic heart disease\, stroke\, chronic obstructive pulmonary
  disease\, etc. Huge money pours into platforms to support disease managem
 ent. Wireless biosensors are one of such platforms\, with their ability to
  measure and communicate parameters that indicate the presence\, or onset\
 , of pathology. The global mobile health market is poised to grow at a CAG
 R of around 32.3% over the next decade to reach approximately $189 billion
  by 2025. This is an explosive trajectory\, yet the development of wireles
 s wearable sensors faces huge challenges. So far there are no satisfactory
  solutions for reliable real-time monitoring of vital signs such as blood 
 pressure and electrocardiogram (ECG)\, not to mention other important para
 meters such as cardiac output\, vessel level flow\, or drug levels to name
  but a few. This talk will cover opportunities and challenges in the devel
 opment of wearable wireless biomedical sensors. The focus is on the energy
  efficient system architecture that utilizes the continuous-in-time and di
 screte-in-amplitude (CTDA) signal flow. The CTDA signal flow enables data 
 compression at the input source\, which greatly reduces the power for wire
 less data transmission. Design examples\, such as [2.89μW wireless ECG So
 C](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/7526333)\, will be discus
 sed in detail to illustrate the benefits of CTDA system architecture.\n\nC
