Body Sensor Networks: Wireless Health Monitoring Technology Hardcover Book | April 2014 Edition | For Medical Research & Wearable Fitness Tracking

I started to work in this business space several years ago, and this book would have been great back then.I noted the editor is also a contributor to several chapters, but my comments really focus on the book as a total body of work.I think it is written with an odd pacing swinging from very broad to very deep in a paragraph - not sure why this would be. At times it seems authors/contributors reach way beyond their own skill levels and the material becomes futuristic and abstract. When the authors are in their 'sweet spot' they drill down too deep filling the pages with really non required math and detail that perhaps belongs in another type of text. It appears as though they were told to write so many pages and use the math to fill some pages up - to give the text some meat.The book is very light on the microfluidics aspects of the technology - there is a nice selection of references for every chapter that I can really use - for me this is the most valuable part of the book.The book just dabbles with clinical aspects of the technologies value - perhaps other co-authors with broader skills would have helped. It is such a BIG topic that I am being a little unfair, but when you edit/author something - stick to what you really know.It is okay as a library collection - but as with all technology books - it was dated and 'ancient' that second it was published. Finally, know you audience, I was not really sure who this was really directed at - the front matter does make some reference to the intended groups - but it misses the mark here also.Yes, it is 'okay'.
