Design and Implementation of a Remote Healthcare System Based on Wearable Body Sensor Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

Traditional medical monitoring devices have some significant limitations for requirements of the aging society because of their complex wires. In order to solve these problems, a remote healthcare system is designed and implemented in this paper. This system consists of a BSN (Body Sensor Network), wireless gateways and a remote database. The BSN is used to expand the mobility of the monitoring devices. The PC-based home gateway is used to receive and display the data from sensors and transmit them to the remote database. In order to expand the mobility of the gateways, An Android based mobile phone is selected as a mobile gateway. At last, a simple web access is provided for the remote healthcare.
