Recent developments and technological advancements in wireless communication, MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology and integrated circuits has enabled low-power, intelligent, miniaturized, invasive/non-invasive micro and nano-technology sensor nodes strategically placed in or around the human body to be used in various applications, such as personal health monitoring. This exciting new...
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) can provide continuous and remote monitoring of patients??? physiological history, facilitate automatic sports training, and promote interactive games. However, existing single-hop wireless communication scheme faces two major challenges: the impermeability of human body to radio waves at frequencies commonly used in WBANs, and the highly dynamic network topology...
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...
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...
