Abstract

A wireless body sensor network hardware has been designed and implemented based on MICS (Medical Implant Communication Service) band. The MICS band offers the advantage of miniaturized electronic devices that can either be used as an implanted node or as an external node. In this work, the prototype system uses temperature and pulse rate sensors on nodes. The sensor node can transmit data over the air to a remote central control unit (CCU) for further processing, monitoring and storage. The developed system offers medical staff to obtain patient's physiological data on demand basis via the Internet. Some preliminary performance data is presented in the paper.
