EasiMed: A remote health care solution

An embedded remote health care system based on wireless sensor network technology was established. Firstly, a new system architecture was proposed which introduced a scalable wireless personal medical sensor network around human's body. Then the designs of several sensor node and the care base-station were presented. The wireless communication between the sensor nodes and the care base-station used IEEE 802.15.4 / Zigbee standard whilst the care base-station and the remote central server was connected in one of the following ways, including computing network, GSM short messages and telephone modem. The system can be used for remote health care at home or in the hospitals.
