    Abstract

    The Wireless Sensors in Healthcare Project focused on the implementation of wireless technology in healthcare. Wireless biomedical sensors for monitoring of continuous invasive arterial blood pressure were developed and evaluated under controlled conditions during laparoscopic surgery. The project has resulted in the first publication of clinical use of a wireless biomedical sensor for invasive measurement of arterial blood pressure in a pilot study. A second demonstrator for wireless clinical decision support based on the first demonstrator was developed. Wireless technologies used were Bluetooth, wireless local area network and GPRS/mobile telephones. Further research is needed to evaluate the wireless clinical decision support system. Critical care nurses and nurse anesthetists are potential users of wireless technology. Their clinical expertise is important in development of-, and future use of wireless technology.
