Automated Health Monitoring System for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN)

Abstract

The recent advances in electronics and microelectronics devices allow the development of newly low-cost monitoring tools used by people for health preventive purposes. Sensors used in medical equipment convert various forms of human body vital signs into electrical signals. Therefore, the healthcare monitoring systems considering non-invasive and wearable sensors with integrated communication mediums allow an efficient solution to live a comfortable life at home. The sensors used in this work are a body temperature sensor and a blood oxygen sensor. The method that we used enables us to show the results of the sensor readings to a desktop application, then read the printout of the series and create a visual in the form of tables and graphs, as well as store the data in a database and display the data via a website in the form of reports that can be accessed remotely. The results obtained from the study conclude that, this application can be used to access data remotely.
