Development and evaluation of an architecture of Wireless Sensors Network for e-health: Partial results

Abstract:

This article presents partial results of the development and evaluation of an architecture based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), which allows monitoring of physiological variables in patients who develop daily activities both at home as at a hospital. The variables measured are: temperature, oxygen saturation and heart rate, also includes the measurement of contextual variables (lighting, temperature and relative humidity). The architecture consists of sensor nodes wearable by the patient, an IEEE 802.15.4/802.11 bridge, a local server and a remote server (medical server). © 2011 IEEE.
