Abstract :
Given that the existing wireless medical monitor system has many drawbacks such as limited coverage, poor network robustness and low data rate, this article introduces how to construct a wireless medical monitor system relying on ODMA-WiFi network. An extensible remote medical monitoring system based on ODMA-WiFi network has been designed, which can not only surveillance the whole hospital and medical equipment in wards, but also dynamically monitor physiological indexes of patients. The successful practice of constructing the wireless medical monitor system with ODMA-WiFi technology under the laboratory simulation environment further proves that this type of network has significant technical advantages in terms of transmission efficiency and communication distance compared with traditional wireless networks.
