Light-weight embedded systems are now gaining more popularity in the domain of medical monitoring and wearable computers due to the recent technological advances in fabrication of more powerful tiny processors as well as their ability to communicate. Yet, they still pose various scientific challenges for researchers. One of the major challenges relates to reliability, mainly due to the use of rather simple and cost effective components and the often critical nature of the applications. Additionally, usability, maintainability and adaptability are key concerns that need to be addressed. In this tutorial, we provide a brief description of light-weight medical monitoring systems along with two clinical applications implemented on our prototype system. Furthermore, we present several challenges that researchers face with respect to improving the reliability in such systems. For every challenge, we highlight several design approaches that may enhance the overall performance of the system and ensure dependable execution of tasks.
