Measure-Understand-Control-Improve
“Measurement is the first step that leads to control and
eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure
something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand
it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t
improve it.”

Telebiometrics: Quantifying Signs of Life
Roots of TeleBioMetrics
Greek Origins
Tele – from Greek “Tele” – far, distant, remote
Modern translation – “reaching over a distance,” “carried out between two
remote points,” “performed or operating through electronic transmissions
Bio – from Greek “Bios” {life} - the art of quantifying metrics of biology
Modern translation – “life”, “living organism”, “biology”
Metrics - from Greek “Metron” – to measure
Modern translation – “the science of measuring”
Tele-Bio-Metrics - the science of measuring life carried out between two
remote points, performed or operating through electronic transmission.

Telebiometric Systems comprise of the 3
fundamental components:
1.Hardware – Sensor transceiver, designed
to measure biological quantities and or
patterns over a network which are supported
by a gateway and cloud infrastructure.
2.Software – Protocol authored in ASN.1
describing, quantifying, comparing, and
communicating biological values to the
application.
3.Wetware – Biological target/entity within
proximity of the sensor which matches
thresholds defined in the ASN.1 protocol.

How do I determine what is human?
3-Laws of Robotics
1. A robot may not injure a human being or,
through inaction, allow a human being to
come to harm.
1. A robot must obey the orders given it by
human beings except where such orders
would conflict with the First Law.
1. A robot must protect its own existence as
long as such protection does not conflict
with the First or Second Laws.

Biology to Machine Protocol (B2M):
Solution: A method for recognizing life.
Biometrics
What is Biology to Machine (B2M)?
•The goal of B2M is to include a standardized method of
packeting biological properties and entities using an
interaction taxonomy coupled to the metric system that
interoperates with existing M2M protocols.
•The role of B2M is to establish the conditions that allow a
device to bi-directionally exchange information with a
business application via a communication network, so that the
device and/or application can act as the basis for information
exchange.

Oxygen Saturation (%)
The monitor consists of a base station and a wristband
with 3-sensors tuned to wetware thresholds for heart
rate, temperature, and oxygen saturation quantification.
The user sets alert ranges for each of the
measurements. The wristband quantifies the biological
target and transmits an encrypted ASN.1 packet back
to the base station. When the baby “Life Signs” fall out
of range and alert is enabled.
Alerts parents to the possibility of Sudden

Telehealth = Telebiometrics + Telemedicine
It’s all about the data……
• Telehealth - is the use of electronic information and telecommunications
technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and
professional health-related education, public health and health
administration.
• Telebiometrics – remote monitoring and reporting of biometric data.
• Telemedicine - the remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means
of telecommunications technology.
• Professor Enrico M. Staderini MD, PhD of Western Switzerland University
of Applied Sciences discussed a quantified decision process for medical
therapy from “Handbook of analytic philosophy of medicine” by Kazem
Sadegh-Zadeh, Springer 2012.
• Diagnosis in Medical treatment especially in Telemedicine is very
dependent upon the quality of biological measurements.
