3ACare: A Wireless Body Sensor Network for Health Alert and Monitoring

Abstract

The development of Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems ,integrated circuits, wireless communications have resulted in the creation of miniature, ultra-low power, and wearable health monitoring system. The system can be defined as a Body Sensor Network that can be embedded in the user’s outfit as a part of the clothing .This 3ACare system is a wearable health monitoring and alert system which can give anyone health care at anytime and anywhere. The system continuously collects multiple vital signs by physiological sensors and evaluates the signs in a personal server such as a PDA. And the personal server transfers the data to a medical server center by 3G net or Internet. The doctor in the medical server center will give the patients message after they diagnosed the data.The paper describes the architecture of 3ACare and the details of the wireless body sensor network (WBSN) nodes and the test result.

A Platform for 3G and Internet-Based Healthcare System

“…The architecture of 3G and Internet-Based Healthcare System is shown in Figure 1. People who wear wearable physiologic monitor [3] get physiologic data and then transmitted the data to the android smart phone with Bluetooth module. These physiologic data can not only be displayed on the smart phone, but also be transmitted to the web server through 3G or WiFi.…”
