A wireless communication system for remote medical monitoring

Remote medical monitoring is of increasing importance as it enables low cost in-situ monitoring of patients regardless of their location. Realization of this technology requires that medical sensors (forming a body sensor network, BSN) are capable of detecting physiological data and transferring this data to physicians via wireless links. In this paper, we will present a wireless communication platform to provide a reliable and secure pathway for transferring health informatics data from on-body medical sensors to a mobile device or remote database server.
