無線感測網路之關鍵技術及在社區照護之應用

Abstract

由於無線感測器生產技術的進步與成 本降低，無線感測器已經漸漸適合被應用 於許多場合，尤其在社區的醫療照護更是 一個相當有潛力的應用。由於社區醫療人 員並無法隨時隨地的與病患接觸與看護， 我們可以在病患身上隨身裝備無線感測器 來測量其身體狀況來解決這個問題，例如 心跳、脈搏與血壓等等資料，可以透過無 線感測網路將即時資料傳回醫療中心的伺 服器，如此一來醫護人員將可以方便的掌 控病患的病情。 但這類的感測網路還存在一些限制與 考量因素，例如感測器有限的電力能源、 病患資料的即時性與保密性，這些議題即 為設計適用於社區照護之無線感測網路的 關鍵技術，本研究計劃在於探討並整合這 些關鍵技術，本期的研究將以對世界相關 的文獻做蒐集與探討。

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.
