The IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) established a technical committee on wearable biomedical sensors and systems (WBSS) in 2004. This position paper presents the view of the technical committee on the field of wearable sensors and systems in medicine, and shortly introduces its plan of action. The purpose of the position paper is to raise awareness of the initiatives of EMBS concerning WBSS and to encourage collaborations in order to advance research and development in the field of WBSS.
