Abstract
With the keep growing of the ratio of people over 65, the health care system for elder people is facing challenges. WBAN, being the newest technology, will play an important role in elder people health care system. In this paper, we discussed integrated application of WBAN and WSN in nursing home´s health care system, proposed a gradient routing protocol for WSN to satisfy the needs of WBAN data transfer in a limit area, and gave out its principle and implementation. The locating algorithm for moving people in the yard was also discussed in detail, and different algorithms were given out to adopt different situations.
