Monitoring wireless sensor networks in cancer monitoring among elderly patients

Abstract

In this research I propose system architecture for wireless smart healthcare based on an advanced Wireless Body sensor Networks. It also aims assisted-living residents and others who may benefit from continuous, remote health monitoring. An experimental living space has been constructed at the Department of Computer Science at4 University of Virginia (UVA) for evaluation. Early research suggest strong potential for Wireless Sensor Nodes to open new research perspectives for low-cost, ad hoc deployment of multi modal wireless sensors networks for an improved quality of-health care. However the simple continuous sending of data mechanism causes lots of duplicated packets and consumes a lot of power and its resources. In view of these challenges, the transmission network nodes should reduce repeated sending of data such that power conservation is obtained since the devices within a wireless sensor network have limited battery power
