Abstract

Remote medical monitoring with medical sensors and wireless communications has recently gained attention for the potential savings and improved quality in patient health-care. Currently, many mobile wireless medical infrastructures connect to the Internet in a point-to-point fashion, such as the cellular network. However, our research investigates new models for remote patient care that exploit P2P networking among patients and healthcare providers (nurses, doctors, emergency personnel). In this paper, we identify several medical applications based on P2P health networking focusing on two specific scenarios where nurses and patients are both equipped with Bluetooth devices. Nurses opportunistically collect, share and upload data in a P2P fashion. During an emergency, the nearest nurse is alerted via Bluetooth enhanced inquiry response mechanism. The simulation and test-bed experimentation demonstrate that Bluetooth P2P networking is both feasible and cost-effective in remote medical monitoring.

利用蓝牙P2P网络进行医疗监控

使用医疗传感器和无线通信的远程医疗监测最近因可能节省费用和提高患者保健质量而受到关注。目前，许多移动无线医疗基础设施以点对点的方式连接到互联网，例如蜂窝网络。然而，我们的研究调查了远程患者护理的新模式，利用患者和医疗保健提供者(护士、医生、急救人员)之间的P2P网络。在本文中，我们确定了基于P2P健康网络的几种医疗应用，重点关注护士和患者都配备蓝牙设备的两种特定场景。护士们投机取巧地以P2P的方式收集、分享和上传数据。在紧急情况下，最近的护士通过蓝牙增强查询响应机制发出警报。仿真和试验台实验表明，蓝牙P2P网络在远程医疗监控中是可行且经济的。
