This prospective clinical study evaluated a noninvasive portable helmet system to record and localize brain EMF activity in adults with atraumatic brain injury or TBI, including image-negative concussion. Ten patients were enrolled, and abnormal EMF activity was reported to correlate with neurological deficits, CT…

This paper describes the design, calibration, and experimental validation of a low-cost tri-axial sensor for monitoring 50 Hz magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines. The sensor was calibrated on-board and in-lab against a narrowband EHP-50 benchmark and then verified in situ at two locations, with reported…

This in vitro study describes a microfluidic device integrated with a radiofrequency exposure system to enable on-chip monitoring of cellular responses under a 1.8 GHz field. Using human amniotic epithelial cells, the authors report field-intensity-associated increases in protrusions/filopodia, changes in…

This paper describes multi-floor indoor LTE measurement campaigns aimed at enabling assessment and monitoring of RF-EMF exposure, with emphasis on uplink exposure via mobile phone transmit power. Because uplink transmit power is not directly available from off-the-shelf devices, the authors propose an artificial…

This report discusses elements of new AIRM (Italian Association of Medical Radiation Protection) guidelines for health surveillance of workers exposed to electromagnetic fields. It focuses on identifying which workers should undergo surveillance and what surveillance should include. The approach described emphasizes…

This modeling study estimated SAR in a multi-layer head model from a wearable IoT device’s Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth antenna. SAR was reported to be up to 10× higher when the antenna was placed in a headband versus on a helmet. The authors suggest that devices emitting below 3 mW EIRP may be considered environmentally…

This paper discusses the legal context for environmental EMF measurements and describes methods for estimating EMF intensity from multiple sources, particularly cellular base stations. It presents an engineering concept for mobile EMF monitoring and reports verification testing of the measurement setup. Field…

This paper describes an engineering approach to avoid RF/microwave radiation in wearable EEG data transmission by using visible light communication. The system performance was tested at different illuminance levels and an algorithm for low-illuminance operation was proposed. The authors report error-free transmission…

This review-style article discusses gerontechnologies—mobile applications on smartphones/tablets and remote monitoring systems—for outpatient symptom monitoring and self-care management in older adults with heart failure. It frames these tools as potentially cost-effective and accessible when designed for older…

This engineering paper reports a prototype wearable patient-monitoring device that transmits vital-sign measurements via Bluetooth LE during MRI. Across 7 MRI acquisitions (25 minutes total), the authors report no Bluetooth packet loss, increased PPG noise during MRI, and no effect on temperature/humidity readings.…

This engineering paper presents an experimentally validated wearable personal exposimeter system for RF-EMF exposure monitoring, motivated by increasing wireless applications. It uses a distributed measurement approach and integrates inertial sensors to capture activity and posture during measurements. The system is…

This paper describes development of a fully implantable biotelemetry system that wirelessly transmits cardiac biomechanical force data along with ECG.
