We are proposing a new architecture that will reduce the customization and reconfiguration time for systems that use reconfigurable embedded systems. The most important component of our system is the "Med Nodes". "Med nodes" are stand-alone components consist of a processing unit, a battery and can support various types of sensors for physiological reading from human body. These blocks enable the system to be flexible, however their basic structure remains fixed almost all the time and thus the reconfiguration time is no longer a severe limitation. Furthermore, customization of the system with a large number of "med nodes" is extremely fast. The "med nodes" can possess several parameters such that they can be complex enough to suit a range of applications. They can as well be more basic that can perform multiple operations. Furthermore, they support variety of analog and digital sensors such as flex sensors, piezoelectric sensors, pressure sensors, etc. Also the block is left software programmable which can be customized for various applications and sensors. On-chip memory blocks are also available for data storage.
