Wearable devices, such as wristbands, smart-watches, eyewear, and wearable bio-monitors have become the focus of much attention in past year. One in ten U.S. consumers over the age of 18 now owns a modern activity tracker. These ubiquitous devices are a natural platform for formation of ad hoc networks. With almost 40% of users are above the age of 45, these older adopters are focused on improving...
Intra wireless body sensor network (Intra-WBSN) is typically a short range wireless health monitoring network, consists of wearable or implant bio-sensor nodes which collects the patient's physiological signals and forward to patient monitoring systems. Network lifetime maximization and energy efficiency of the network have significant attention for current research. Recently cost-function based multi-hop...
In the last few years Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) has come up a long way with numerous innovative ideas to cater to the growing elderly population of the society. With a perfect combination of tools and technology leading to ubiquitous or pervasive computing, data can be sensed, and transmitted from patients at home to healthcare professionals for quick monitoring and taking necessary actions, if...
Body sensor Networks (BSNs) are becoming increasingly as significant with the passage of time. Which are utilized and implementation in big demand for monitoring and measurement physiological parameters. BSNs are originated from WSN so they are having several similar characteristics. BSNs contain of numbers outside wearing sensor nodes are located and deploying over the human body or wearable around...
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) is one of the most promising approaches for improving the quality of life, by allowing remote patient monitoring and other ubiquitous health monitoring applications. In this type of networks, traffic routing plays an important role, which collects the information from bio sensors and sends it towards the sink. Some data are very critical under certain situations...
The objective of this project is to support the healthcare networks by proposing the reliable transmission protocol for the transmission of emergency signals. Patient monitoring systems are gaining their importance as the fast-growing global elderly population increases demands for caretaking and to look after them. These systems use wireless technologies in adhoc environment to transmit vital signs...
This paper presents an experiment using a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in a rural area with focus on precision agriculture. The experiment lasted 90 days and during this time several events were analyzed highlighting the quality of the communication and events of the environment that affected the normal operation of the WSN. This experiment was the starting point for the proposition of a communication...
A human vital monitoring system using Ad Hoc wireless network is implemented to enhance the healthcare service. Issues related to hardware and software implementation including the data packet format are addressed. The system uses a low cost electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor to monitor patient's vital sign. A sensor node, which is held by the patient, transmits the sensor data via an Ad Hoc wireless...
Triage is a emergency life-saving process to prioritize patients based on severity of their condition in disasters. Triage has been introduced to medical treatment scenes in recent years. In Triage, patients are classified into 4 groups according to their priority based on their condition. Researches of emergency life-saving systems to monitor and collect patients' location and changes of their condition...
In order to better the poor validity of routing protocol and control overhead of the patient monitoring system based on ZigBee, comparing and analysing of two kinds of DSR and AODV routing algorithm, and using OPNET simulation tool for the performance of AODV routing protocol simulation. Making simulation about AODV routing protocol for the transmission delay, RREQ send the number, send traffic and...
The use of wireless sensor networks as a means for providing remote healthcare provides a unique opportunity to reduce the healthcare cost through more efficient use of clinical resources and earlier detection of medical conditions. Despite the initial promising results, there remain significant obstacles to apply this technology to the practical medical care context. In this paper, we investigate...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been popular in industrial and academic field due to their ability in identity identification and data transmission respectively. Both RFID and wireless sensor networks have undergone huge development separately. In this paper, it has been discussed how helpful and effective it will be when RFID and WSN have been combined...
IEEE P1900.4 is an emerging standard for optimized radio resource utilization where cognitive radio technologies are used for efficient spectrum utilization. In this paper, we design and implement a cognitive wireless network system based on open documents of IEEE P1900.4, and evaluate its performance using UDP streaming and HTTP download. Our experiments show interesting results that total network...
A system to remotely monitor a patientpsilas oxygen saturation (%SpO2) levels is described. The data was continuously measured using a pulse oximeter and then transferred to a central monitoring station via a wireless sensor network for storage and display. Crossbow MICAz motes were programmed to serve as the network nodes. One mote was interfaced to the pulse oximeter for data acquisition and the...
