ZigBee mobility management for Multipurpose Patient Monitoring system

A Multipurpose Patient Monitoring system embedded with a new ZigBee mobile application profile is proposed and developed. This system enables the mobility of ZigBee devices. The usage, the architecture and the mobility framework are discussed in details. It saves people life by providing panic button and location tracking service. A case study based on the Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital is also presented and findings are given. This investigation reveals that the developed mobile application profile offers promising value-added services for many potential ZigBee applications.
