Biomedical Sensors and Smart Sensing - Ayan Kumar Panja
Chapter 1: Introduction
Abstract
A collection of more than one entity that interacts and communicates following a set of the procedure is defined as a system. The objective of any system is to travel from one state to another based on some input and as the system progresses from one state to another it may or may not produce some output. With the relentless pursuit for knowledge and with the exponential growth in the field of technology, scientists all around the world have made massive progress in the domain of Biomedical and Cyber-physical systems. The chapter discusses the various properties and ranges of biomedical sensors, shedding light on the sensor's sensitivity, errors, and signal measurements.

1.1: Biomedical sensors and system overview
The sensors form the core part of the biomedical systems [1]. A simple example of a biomedical system will be a digital thermometer, measuring the temperature of an individual and processing it digitally. The duty of any biomedical sensor is not just sensing but also converting the biological raw data into digital signals. Hence unlike normal sensors, the biomedical sensor itself is the interface between a living entity and the digital processing system. In general, if we classify sensors, we have physical sensors, chemical sensors, biosensors, etc. The biomedical sensor is the agglomeration of all the above-mentioned types providing a plethora of sensing applications.
To have quantified measurements physical sensors like piezo-electric sensors, temperature sensors, photoelectric sensors, acoustic sensors, etc. are widely used. Chemical sensors measure values about objects that are more of chemical nature like humidity sensors, various electrodes, optical gas sensors, etc. Biosensors, on the other hand, are a combination of both physical and chemical sensing together, some of the examples are gravimetric sensors, pyroelectric sensors, optical photoelectric sensors. Biomedical measurement [2] is a guiding technology [3] in the collection and processing of information about the medical domain and is directly related to the research of biomedical sensing technology, biomedical measurement methods, and electrical-electronics measuring systems. Therefore the research carried out in biomedical measurement has a direct effect on the design and application of sensors and medical instruments. An overview of a biomedical system can be a simple pressure sensor for blood pressure measurement, electrocardiogram (ECG) [4], electromyography (EMG), photoplethysmography (PPG), etc. There are various systems that can also detect molecules, enzymes, and measure many such biological fluids paving the way to a complicated diagnosis of various diseases (Fig.
