A body sensor network system has been developed for ubiquitous health monitoring of multiple mobile subjects, which is referred to as UbiHealth. On the body, there are micro-sensors to capture physiological signals of electrocardiography (ECG), blood pressure, respiration and temperature, as well as context information of activity and position. Sensors are coordinated by an on-body gateway, where data are collected, pre-processed and wirelessly sent to the server. The server receives, stores and processes signals from multiple gateways, providing overview of those subjects on a local map, and real-time health status of individual subjects. The application scenarios include, for example, health monitoring for rescue team members in a hazard, and elderly health monitoring in a community.

Body Sensor Network

With recent advances in wireless sensor networks and embedded computing technologies, body sensor networks (BSNs) have become practically feasible. BSNs consist of a number of sensor nodes located and deployed over the human body. These sensors continuously gather vital sign data of the body area to be used in various intelligent systems in smart environments. This paper presents an intelligent design of the body sensor network based on virtual hypercube structure backbone termed as Smart BodyNet. The main purpose of the Smart BodyNet is to provide resilience for the BSN operation and reduce power consumption. Various experiments were carried out to show the performance of the Smart BodyNet design as compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.

Test Result

The development of Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems ,integrated circuits, wireless communications have resulted in the creation of miniature, ultra-low power, and wearable health monitoring system. The system can be defined as a Body Sensor Network that can be embedded in the user’s outfit as a part of the clothing .This 3ACare system is a wearable health monitoring and alert system which can give anyone health care at anytime and anywhere. The system continuously collects multiple vital signs by physiological sensors and evaluates the signs in a personal server such as a PDA. And the personal server transfers the data to a medical server center by 3G net or Internet. The doctor in the medical server center will give the patients message after they diagnosed the data.The paper describes the architecture of 3ACare and the details of the wireless body sensor network (WBSN) nodes and the test result.

Field wireless sensor network is the current global engineering field research hotspot for structural health monitoring wireless sensor network that is one of the important branches to real-time monitoring of the safety status of the upper wood engineering structure to avoid the occurrence of many safety accidents caused by major structural and equipment damage and to guide the maintenance of major structures; the establishment of a wireless sensor network system is one of the current research priorities. This paper researches and designs a wireless sensor network system level scheme for structural health monitoring that is divided into two parts based on the hardware platform design and software development based on the system that focuses on the time synchronization protocol and synchronous acquisition method featuring synchronous acquisition start time scheme, time separation method, and flexible optimization model of time information. The method applies to high-frequency acquisition to guarantee the time of sampling points in structural environmental measurement. The accuracy of the information and the reliability of the field diagnosis, for the detection of harmful substances, as well as leading to the construction of green habitat environment have a qualitative leap, for the design of green habitat environment that has enough progress.
