Wirelessly Interfacing Objects and Subjects of Healthcare System – IoT Approach

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks, WSN, for which development has begun by military applications, are nowadays applied to all human activities; e.g. in medicine for patience monitoring or to reduce the effects of disasters. Therefore, the WSNs area has been also one of the emerging and fast growing scientific fields. Increasing interest of WSNs is even caused by equally intense growth of interest in the Internet of Things domain, IoT, in which WSNs constitute a significant part. These reasons have brought about developing low cost, lowpower and multi-function sensor nodes. However, the major fact that sensor nodes run quickly out of energy has been an issue and many energy efficient routing protocols have been proposed to solve this problem. Case study presented in this paper concern design of WSN in IoT concept from system lifetime perspective. A hierarchical routing technique, which shows energy efficiency, has been validated. Simulation results show that chosen technique prolongs the lifetime of the WSN compared to other investigated clustering schemes. The advantages of this method are validated by comparative studies.

“…As one can see from the review of related works, there is an opportunity to apply the agile strategy at a design stage of the DSC. The review shows also that the User Driven Design (UDD) can be a suitable design method, due to its ability to accommodate a large diversity of users [Dziak et al 2016].…”

“…The agile-based monitoring and management system for the DSC, is to be developed using an approach of the specific user-centered design method, which intends to customize the system to meet the functional and nonfunctional requirements under the particular environmental constraints [Dziak et al 2016]. The designer lays out the solution in respect to the potential receivers, in our case the dairy and transport companies along with particular users, which can be either a milk supplier or a driver of milk hauler.…”

Performance Analysis of IoT-Based Health and Environment WSN Deployment

“…Energy power consumption of battery-powered sensor nodes of WSN especially for transitions of information is one of the constraints of the network that affect the lifetime of the network and thereby the applicability for environmental and health purposes. Lifetime is one of the big challenges of adopting WSN for environmental and health services [ 5 ]. Lifetime addresses how to reduce the energy consumption of the sensor nodes by increasing the time until one of the sensor nodes runs out of energy [ 16 , 67 ].…”

“…To manage the energy power consumption for maximizing the lifetime of the network, a routing protocol is required to consider in the designed network [ 5 , 80 ]. There are many different routing protocols, however, Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) is one of them to optimize the energy consumption by minimizing the total transmission [ 82 ].…”

“…Internet of Things (IoT) has changed operational health and environment systems with sensors and devices to turn a stream of right information into some sort of intelligence location based service [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. It has to be highlighted that the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) plays a significant role in IoT because it can be developed in many fields [ 5 , 6 ], so that the most cities have deployed or are planning to deploy WSN for creating city-wide wireless coverage [ 7 ]. In environmental and health monitoring applications, the WSNs have to be designed extremely reliably because it can be literally the difference between life or death.…”
