Optimal Arrangement of Wearable Devices Based on Lifespan of Animals as Device Transporter Materials for Long-Term Monitoring of Wildlife Animal Sensor Network

There are a number of situations in the context of health and wellness where it is desirable to monitor a user for a period of time – either for short term assessment or longer term monitoring. It is further desirable, especially for long term monitoring, that the device chosen to do so has a minimal impact on the user. This form of monitoring is unobtrusive monitoring and uses wearable technology to achieve its aims. This chapter presents an overview of unobtrusive monitoring using wearable devices, discusses some common device types and the data that are available and makes some recommendations for factors to consider when choosing or designing a device for unobtrusive monitoring.

Term Monitoring

The wireless sensor network is a highly active area of research. Much progress has been made in wireless sensor network research for structural monitoring, but the research of the long-term monitoring system based on wireless sensor network in civil engineering structures is still at the beginning stage. The paper proposed to use wireless sensor network to realize intensive measurement long-term monitoring, in order to improve the effect of structural health monitoring. It introduced the characteristics and deficiencies of the wireless technology application in the structure health monitoring system, and proposed the system design principle of the densely measured points long-term monitoring system based on wireless sensor network. We has carried on the detailed argumentation and design from system architecture, the terminal node, monitoring method three aspects, and put forward a set of solutions.
