Cooperative sensors are an emerging technology consisting of autonomous sensor units working in concert to measure physiological signals requiring distant sensing points, such as biopotential (e.g., ECG) or bioimpedance (e.g., EIT). Their advantage with respect to the state-of-the-art technology is that they do not require shielded and even insulated cables to measure best quality biopotential or bioimpedance signals. Moreover, as all sensors are simply connected to a single electrical connection (which can be for instance a conductive vest) there is no connecting limitation to the miniaturization of the system or to its extension to large numbers of sensors. This results in an increase of wearability and comfort, as well as in a decrease of costs and integration challenges. However, cooperative sensors must communicate to be synchronized and to centralize the data. This paper presents possible communication strategies and focuses on the implementation of one of them that is particularly well suited for biopotential and bioimpedance measurements.
