Medical Measurements: A Need and a Challenge

Medical measurements and devices continue to deal with the measurands’ variability over time and among patients due to a multitude of intrinsic and extrinsic factors; then, there is an increasing need of sensors and embedded systems for noninvasive measurements. Furthermore, the reliability, accuracy, and efficiency of the implemented methods and systems are the main concerns of researchers in medical measurements and applications in a context of increasing cost-conscious customers, governments, and regulatory agencies.
