Energy Efficient Design for Body Sensor Network Applications - Hashim Elshafie - Bog

The Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) is a wireless network used for communication among sensor nodes operating on or inside the human body in order to monitor vital body parameters and movements. The design and the development of such systems for health monitoring have gained a lot of attention recently in both the research and the industry. Mainly motivated by the increasing of healthcare costs and propelled by the recent advances in the development of miniature health monitoring devices. This project presents a preventive health care system with a flexible design. By using Heartbeat sensor there is a daily continuous monitoring.In this work, we propose a system based on an architecture to provide continuous monitoring. A model has been defined to describe the system global behavior. The derived behaviors include the synchronization messages to ensure the global coordination among the system components.
