Monitoring Systems White Papers

An Advanced Wireless Sensor Network for Health Monitoring

Overview This paper proposes system architecture for smart healthcare based on an advanced Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). It specifically targets assisted-living residents and others who may benefit from continuous, remote health monitoring. This paper presents the advantages, objectives, and status of the design. An experimental living space has been constructed at the Department of Computer Science at UVA for evaluation. Early results suggest a strong potential for WSNs to open new research perspectives for low-cost, ad hoc deployment of multimodal sensors for an improved quality of medical care.
