Abstract

Traditionally the medical monitoring used in hospital brought a lot inconvenience because of the complex wires between patients and equipments. In order to solve these problems, a human health wireless monitoring system based on Zigbee wireless communications is proposed. The system proposes multiple wireless physiological sensors to form a expandable wireless sensor network system architecture. Then the structure of the system used in wireless sensor nodes is introduced and the purpose is to collect the patients´ physiological information, such as pulse, temperature, basically realize remote medical monitoring for patients. This system can not only realize accurate measurement of indicators, but also save the patients´ travel between home and the hospital.
