Abstract

In this work, we merge wireless sensors with mobile computing through the GPRS network. This would enable data acquisition and analysis anywhere within the coverage of the GSM network. The architecture is general enough to handle different sensors so the applications can range from facilities monitoring to patient care. With the use of medical sensor devices (temperature and ECG sensors) vital signs of a patient can be captured continuously, and in real-time, relaying the data to mobile phones carried by medical technicians and personnel. A data storage protocol can later be implemented using data acquired from these wearable sensor nodes that contain patient identification, history, and treatments, supplementing the use of back-end storage systems and paper charts.
