Abstract

The paper introduces a pulse wave sensor position system based on ZigBee technology. The system is made up of remote server, reference nodes, gateway nodes, master nodes and many location nodes on human body. Location nodes collect pulse waves and position information, and transmit these information to master nodes from ZigBee network. The server finds those humans whose pulse waves are abnormal and calls for first aid. The system is suitable for monitoring special people in nursing homes and community.
