Abstract

... cost, miniature, lightweight, and intelligent physiological sensor nodes. These nodes, capable of sensing, processing, and communicating one or more vital signs, can be seamlessly integrated into wireless personal or body networks (WPANs or WBANs) for health monitor-for reacting to crisis and managing illness – are facing new challenges: a rapidly growing population of elderly and ris-that almost one third of U.S. adults, most of whom held full-time jobs, were serving as informal caregivers – mostly of the entire economy [1]. All these statistics suggest that health care needs a major shift toward more scalable and vide feedback to help maintain an optimal health status. If integrated into a telemedical system, these systems can even alert medical personnel when life-threatening changes occur. In addition, patients can benefit from continuous long-term monitoring as a part of a diagnostic procedure, can achieve optimal maintenance of a chronic condition,
