Abstract

Recently, ubiquitous computing and sensor networks are making a rapid development. These technology can enable a new way of biomedical signal processing and healthcare. that is, they can improve care giving by a more flexible acquisition of relevant vital sign data, and by providing more convenience for patients. In this paper, we realize the biomedical sensor networks by applying IEEE 802.15.4/Zigbee networks to some various biomedical sensing unit. For address this, we developed minimized zigbee module and set-up procedure using PDA. The main advantages that we achieve are interference-free operation of different body sensor networks in the vicinity, as well as intuitive usage by the nontechnical personnel.
