Abstract

To aid development of Body Sensor Network (BSN) applications, we define a framework that manages common tasks for healthcare monitoring applications. The framework allows for dynamic configuration and control of signal processing and sensing functions on the sensor nodes. Using this framework, we create a healthcare monitoring platform upon which we implement applications for posture recognition as well as physical therapy. We show how body sensor network resources can be dynamically allocated to support heterogeneous application requirements without hardware reconfiguration.
