The quick growth of smart sensors, lowpower embedded devices and new materials from physical and technological viewpoints, represents a stimulus to provide new applications for the human body well-being. Further issues connecting previous aspects regard technologies of managing intrinsic and extrinsic phenomena that surround the human body according to information processing. Beyond the above reasons there are others related to the use of external non-invasive biomedical devices and instrumentation necessary for monitoring physiological parameters and for allowing diagnosis. The human body, with its articulations, is a complex physical bio-system that needs a constant check-up not only for remedial reasons (bio-psycho-physical degradation) but also for compensating limitations imposed by impairments and for improving performances in particular situations.
