Key Technologies For Wireless Sensor Networks and Their Applications in Community Health Care

Because of the progress and reduced cost
of wireless sensors, wireless sensors had
been applied in many fields. For example,
the Community Health Care is a promising
application. Because the public health
workers cannot contact and care the patients
anytime and anywhere, one of the solutions
is to equip wireless sensors on the patients to
measure the health condition, such as
heartbeat, pulsation, and blood pressure.
Then, those data can be sent back to healthy
center through wireless sensor network. Thus,
the patients’condition can be controlled by
the public health workers conveniently.
However, this type of sensor network still
has some constraints and needs to do some
considerations, such as the limited energy
resource of wireless sensors, the real-time
and secret features of patients. Those issues
are the key technologies of the wireless
sensor network which are applied in
Community Health Care. This research
plan will discuss these issues and integrate
them into a system. This periodical plan will
collect and discuss the related lectures in the
world.
