Design and Implementation of Embedded Software for Context-Aware Wearable Body Sensor Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Adding wireless communication and smart sensing technology into telemedicine filed can enhance the abilities of detecting vital signals of the patients and significantly reduce diagnose cost. An embedded software for monitoring health status based on Zigbee network is proposed in this paper. Motion detection is also exploited to recognize current contexts. Experiments have shown the feasibility of proposed programs which can be easily transplanted into different hardware platform.
