I'm currently working on a DTI funded project called UbiMon (Ubiquitous Monitoring Environment for Wearable and Implantable Sensors) 
and I'm one of the program committees for the International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks 2006 at MIT




UbiMon
The International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable
Body Sensor Networks 2006 (BSN 2006)

April 3-5, 2006 MIT Media Lab
