Measuring breathing- and heart rate data with distribution over wireless IP networks

To enhance a sport event it has been tested to provide on-line sensor data from athletes directly to the Internet. For the purpose two internet enabled sensors measuring pulse and breathing rate, to be worn by hockey players, was designed. A sensor networking approach with full TCP/IP suite capability at the sensor was used. The sensors worn by the player was networked and data provided to spectators via hand held computers and IEEE 802.11b communication. The sensors have been tested for a full Swedish Hockey League game.
