Paper Title
Patient Monitoring Using Wireless Networks
Abstract
Abstract- In the health care domain, a major challenge is how to provide better health care services to an increasing number
of people using limited financial and human resources. Wireless patient monitoring has the potential to support these
multiple and conflicting requirements. However, the current quality and reliability of patient monitoring have not been very
satisfactory due to the unpredictable and spotty coverage of infrastructure-oriented wireless networks. Ad hoc wireless
networks can be formed among mobile and wearable patient-monitoring devices for improving the coverage of patient
monitoring when infrastructure-oriented networks are not accessible. In this article, we provide support for reliable wireless
patient monitoring by presenting several protocols for power management of devices, assisted power control, and The
performance results show that high reliability of message delivery can be obtained while maintaining a level of power
conservation.
