Bindu Xavier, P. B. Dahikar . A Perspective Study on Patient Monitoring Systems based on Wireless Sensor Network, Its Development and Future Challenges. International Journal of Computer Applications. 65, 7 ( March 2013), 35-38. DOI=10.5120/10939-5890
Recent advances in wireless communications have set the track for a new paradigm of personalized healthcare based on persistent continuous vital sign data collection and real-time processing of monitored data to derive meaningful physiological parameters. Novel wireless communication solutions based on bio-medical sensors for reliable vital sign transmission and further processing has become an integral part of the medical solutions particularly in the areas of telemedicine and remote health monitoring, due to its accessibility and cost effectiveness. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the recent works addressing the Patient Monitoring Systems based on Wireless Sensor Networks.
