Based on Wireless Sensor Network (NWK) of Non-Contact Tremor Monitoring Equipment Improvement for Parkinson's Disease

Article Preview

Abstract:

Many traditional tremor sensors are in direct contact with the human body, we tried a new non-contact manner, using the ZigBee standard protocol stack, and constitutes a wireless sensor network (Wireless Sensor Network, WSN), so that it can meet the pathological signal acquisition under low power consumption. In this experiment the main object is to capture the tremor signal from the surface of Parkinson's patients, as well as the feasibility of this new approach. Taking into account the reliability of the data and the transmission efficiency of the whole system, we use the structure of the ZigBee-based star network, and in the receiving terminal to achieve a variety of interfaces to facilitate the transfer, storage and use of other systems and data access.
