Abstract

Recent, technological advances in healthcare monitoring, sensors and wireless networking able to design a system for global healthcare monitoring applications such as ECG, SpO2, glucose, temperature etc. A 6lowpan (IPv6 low power wireless personal area networks) node with biomedical sensors strategically placed on the patient body area networks that can monitor biomedical data. The 6lowpan node has IP-address so it provides real-time feedback of patient to the service provider or doctor. Patient freely moves in-side the PAN or hospital area and service provider efficiently able to receive biomedical data. This technique we modified AODV protocol for pervasive 6lowpan networks. It used high level computational multi-hop communication method for transmitting biomedical data to the gateway. NS-2.33 simulator result shows the modified AODV protocol has better performance then LOAD and DYMO-low routing protocols for healthcare parameters. We tested real-time our modified protocols and show the performance of packet delivery ratio in time interval between 6lowpan nodes for healthcare parameters.
