Wireless body area network for monitoring body temperature, heart beat and oxygen in blood

Abstract

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is a term used to describe a network of sensor devices connected wirelessly for communication on, in and near the body to obtain physiological data from sensor devices. This paper explain the implementation of WBAN for monitoring body temperature, heart beat rate and oxygen saturation in blood. We develop the sensor reads physiological data to the desktop application, then will read the printout of the series and create a visual in the tables and graphs, as well as storing the data into a database and displayed via a website in the form of reports that can be accessed remotely. We analyze the data received from sensor nodes to server receiver with a variety of different distances 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 meters. The experiment results show that the physiological data can be accessed through ZigBee wirelessly in short distance which suitable for WBAN.
