Title :
Implementation solutions and issues in building a personal sensor network for health care monitoring
Abstract :
An implementation of a personal sensor network for health care monitoring is presented. It comprises several smart sensor nodes and a control node organized into a Bluetooth piconet. Remote users can access the network, query and control sensors via GPRS network using methods provided by the control node. The main characteristics of the implemented system and various observed issues are presented.
