MMIG: A middleware for communicating a WSN to a Web site for monitoring vital signs

This paper presents the development of MMIM (Middleware for Monitoring and Information Management): a collection of software that communicates a wireless sensor network (WSN) based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard with a web site. The WSN collects vital signs of patients and sends them to a database located in a web server. On the other end, people who care for the health of these patients, monitor the web site using the collected data and set parameters that control the behavior of the devices (sensors of the WSN) in terms of time intervals for checking samples and alerts.
