Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for healthcare have emerged in the recent years. Wireless technology has been developed and used widely for different medical fields. This technology provides healthcare services for patients, especially who suffer from chronic diseases. Services such as catering continuous medical monitoring and get rid of disturbance caused by the sensor of instruments. Sensors are connected to a patient by wires and become bed-bound that less from the mobility of the patient. In this paper, proposed a real-time heart pulse monitoring system via conducted an electronic circuit architecture to measure Heart Pulse (HP) for patients and display heart pulse measuring via smartphone and computer over the network in real-time settings. In HP measuring application standpoint, using sensor technology to observe heart pulse by bringing the fingerprint to the sensor via used Arduino microcontroller with Ethernet shield to connect heart pulse circuit to the internet and send results to the web server and receive it anywhere. The proposed system provided the usability by the user (user-friendly) not only by the specialist. Also, it offered speed andresults accuracy, the highest availability with the user on an ongoing basis, and few cost.

Sensor networks are dense wired or wireless networks used for collecting and disseminating environmental data. They have some limitations like energy that usually provide by battery and storages in order that we cannot save any generated data. The most energy consumer of sensors is transmitting. Sensor networks generate immense amount of data. They send collected data to the sink node for storage to response to users queries. Data storage has become an important issue in sensor networks as a large amount of collected data need to be archived for future information retrieval. The rapid development and deployment of sensor technology is intensifying the existing problem of too much data and not enough knowledge. Sensory data comes from multiple sensors of different modalities in distributed locations. In this chapter we investigate some major issues with respect to data storages of sensor networks that can be used for disaster management more efficiently.

The fast evolution of computer technology, sensor technology, MEMS and modern wireless communication technology has impelled development of wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks are consist of a large number of nodes which can be capable of communicating, computing and cooperation in ad hoc model. In this paper, we study the application of wireless sensor networks in power engineering. A device for remote monitoring of electric towers is designed. This paper proposes the implementations of remote wireless centralized electricity meter reading based on wireless sensor network.

Wireless sensor Technology has evolved as a true leader in the current era, surpassing the conventional wired technology.It gains over the conventional wired technology in respect of being more efficient and robust.In order to confine and transmit the data to the specified destination, Wireless sensor technology has shown its mettle to do things at great ease.Thus the door to the area of all future research realted to localization sytem and various technologies have opened. So to identify the location of the data is of prime importance as the essence lies in the fact that from where the data has been collected.Spotting the sensor nodes using suitable algorithm is commmonly termed as localization, which is a fascinating area of interest in the field of research and many reaserchers have carried out their exhaustive work in this area.In order to match up with the pace of the fast evolving technologies,it is the utmost need to develop and design a low-cost ,highly efficient localization technique for wireless sensor technologies.

Improvements in sensor technology coupled with advances in knowledge about plant physiology have made it feasible to use real-time substrate volumetric water content sensors to accurately determine irrigation timing and application rates in soilless substrates in greenhouse and container production environments. Sensor-based irrigation uses up-front investments in equipment and system calibration in return for subsequent reductions in irrigation water use and associated costs of energy and labor, spending on fertilizer, and disease losses. It can also accelerate production time. We present formulas for assessing profitability when benefits and costs are separated in time and apply those formulas using data from an experiment on production of gardenia [Gardenia augusta ‘MADGA 1’ (Heaven Scent™)]. Sensor-controlled irrigation cuts production time and crop losses by more than half. Annualized profit under the wireless sensor system was over 1.5 more than under the nursery’s standard practice, with the bulk of the increase in profit due to the reduction in production time. These results indicate that controlling irrigation using wireless sensor systems is likely to increase profitability substantially, even if efficiency gains are not as high as those achieved under experimental conditions.

To overcome the problems of low evaluation accuracy and efficiency existing in traditional resource development efficiency evaluation methods, this paper proposes a new evaluation method of cultural industry tourism resource development effect based on wireless sensor technology. The method takes into account the data of cultural industry resource development collected by the wireless sensors and transmits it to the computer system by wireless transmission technology. Based on the collected development data, the evaluation index system is constructed and the index weight is calculated. Furthermore, the multiobjective weighted function is employed to calculate the development effect evaluation score and complete the evaluation of cultural industry resources development effect. Experimental results show that the proposed method can successfully improve the evaluation accuracy and efficiency, and the highest evaluation accuracy is stable at 98%. Therefore, this method has high reliability.
