Using ZigBee low-power wireless standard for monitoring patients’ signs

摘要

This paper presents Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN)strengths and gives an understanding of what possibilities they have when using short range wireless communications protocols to facilitate versatility in the movements of health care patients. The comparison made between the wireless standards and technologies used in such systems using qualitative measures gives insight into potential opportunities for their usage. The paper investigatesudthe feasibility of using the ZigBee protocol and findings are implemented on presented COHESY system model for continuous real time remote patients monitoring conditions.
