Abstract

The health care costs in developed countries are increasing fast due to the aging of the population. In-home monitoring of health is becoming more and more attractive both because of expected cost-savings and technical development of suitable measurement devices and wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we present on-going work about embedding health monitoring devices into ordinary homes. The developed system is targeted both for monitoring elderly and for monitoring rehabilitation after hospitalization period. The paper presents the utilized sensor network implementation, chosen set of sensors for the first test trial, as well as other design choices for the trial. In addition, further objectives about concentrating on one special case, the ubiquitous heart rate measurement, are discussed. Our objective is to install several non-contact heart rate monitors into a home environment. The designed system performed well during the trial. However, some issues, such as sensor addressing in WSN and user identification, will be better taken into account in the next trials.

无线传感器网络在家庭环境健康监测中的应用

由于人口老龄化，发达国家的医疗保健费用正在迅速增加。由于预期的成本节约和合适的测量设备和无线传感器网络的技术发展，家庭健康监测正变得越来越有吸引力。在本文中，我们介绍了将健康监测设备嵌入普通家庭的正在进行的工作。开发的系统既可用于老年人监测，也可用于住院期康复监测。本文介绍了所使用的传感器网络实现、首次试验选用的传感器组以及试验的其他设计选择。此外，进一步的目标集中在一个特殊的情况下，无处不在的心率测量，讨论。我们的目标是在家庭环境中安装几个非接触式心率监测器。设计的系统在试验中表现良好。然而，一些问题，如WSN中的传感器寻址和用户识别，将在接下来的试验中得到更好的考虑。
