Efficient wireless-networked health monitoring re-quires integrated operation of multiple platforms. In-body medical sensors can network using low-range personal area communication standards, such as Zig-bee/802.15.4. The data collection and distribution back-haul requires long-range, high-data rate technolo-gies (WiFi), and finally a mobile communication inter-face is essential for anywhere anytime alarming about emergencies. Enabling seamless information dissemi-nation across these heterogeneous wireless platforms is crucial for efficient remote health monitoring. In this paper, we implement a laboratory prototype of wireless healthcare network using off-the-shelf wire-less technologies. We detail the hardware components used and, in contrast with several existing works, we develop software-interfaces for integrated operation of a complete wireless tele-health system.
