Abstract

Wireless Sensors networks plays a vital role in the field of telemedicine with a wide range of capabilities like these networks are being used to monitor critical illness such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases etc. In this paper we discuss the core application of remote medical monitoring using fixed node wireless sensor networks in telemedicine healthcare system. This proposed system is used to measure the skin temperature of a particular patient for long period, in hospitals or at home as a part of recovery procedure. This system uses a wireless sensor attached on patients skin to measure the patients skin temperature and then transmit the data wirelessly to central monitoring station through ZigBee.
