- Description
- This paper presents a MICS (medical implant communication service) based body sensor network design and implementation for patient physiological data collection for health monitoring purposes. The MICS band offers the advantage of miniaturized electronic devices that can either be used as an implanted node or as an external node. In this work, a prototype sensor network is implemented by incorporating temperature and pulse rate sensors on nodes. Each developed sensor node has the capability of physiological data acquisition and local processing. The sensor node can also transmit data over the air to a remote central control unit (CCU) for further processing and storage. The developed system offers medical staff to obtain patient's physiological data on demand basis via the Internet. Moreover, the system has been optimized for power consumption by using a polling architecture. Some preliminary performance data is presented in the paper.
