Today, wireless technologies are being used in almost every area of our lives. Especially in the field of health, the use of wireless technologies is increasing every day. The most important advantage of using wireless communication in biomedical area is that health services can be provided outside health facilities. In addition to this, long and troublesome follow-up of the patient; The patient's...
A wireless monitoring system, which operates autonomously for up to several years, is discussed. Measurement techniques for temperature and humidity, acceleration and strain are reviewed. Data transmission is carried out by RFID and Bluetooth radio interfaces. The operation algorithm of the wireless monitoring system is reported.
Internet of Things (IoT) is a new technological paradigm that can connect things from various fields through the Internet. For the IoT connected healthcare applications, the wireless body area network (WBAN) is gaining popularity as wearable devices spring into the market. This paper proposes a wearable sensor node with solar energy harvesting and Bluetooth low energy transmission that enables the...
The measurement system for healthcare signals such as heart rate and body temperature is significantly important to prevent and monitor of potential heart attack. Although numerous researchers have developed wearable devices and systems, there are still lots of issues to be solved to expand their applications. To overcome such issues, we propose the new types of healthcare-on-a-patch using flexible...
In this paper, we propose a stand-alone, battery powered, wireless temperature sensor that can be used for diagnostic purposes in harsh industrial environments, including magnetic interferences and very low pressure (vacuum). Being easily mountable and removable during machine stoppage, this autonomous temperature sensor can be used at any location in a machine to gather temperature data over a period...
The most important function of a sensor network is to collect information from the environment. For many applications, it is important that the location or sensor that originates the collected information is ascertained. This article presents the detection of a mobile sensor's location in an indoor environment with the help of known location sensors (anchors) placed in the environment. Anchor sensors...
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have plenty potential in many monitoring applications like environmental parameters or building and home automation scenarios including, gas, temperature, humidity, presence motion detection or even power grid analyzer. Recent advances in technology, IC manufacturing, and networking utilizing Bluetooth communications have managed to reduce the total power requirements...
In this study, a demonstration of a wireless system based on Bluetooth developed for real-time monitoring of greenhouse environment was presented. System was consisted of a host computer, a serial port adapter and five wireless units. In each wireless unit, a PIC16F876 microcontroller as main processor and a CB-SPA331 Bluetooth module for wireless communication were used. The wireless unit was designed...
This paper presents a design and a contrast test of an ultra-low power wireless health monitoring system capable of measuring a subject's ECG (Electrocardiography), respiration, and body temperature. The system is based on the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology which is most valued for its ultra-low power consumption. Compared to our former design using MSP430 MCU and Bluetooth 2.1, this new design...
The wireless communication technologies are widely applied in the fields like Industrial Automation, Home Area Network, Patient monitoring and monitoring systems. Bluetooth, X-10, Wi-Fi and Zigbee are the suitable wireless technologies to be employed in above mentioned areas. The wireless technology like Wi-Fi and X-10 are not suitable for Industrial automation applications because Wi-Fi is most suitable...
