Abstract :
Networking various tiny biosensors via wireless communication will help improve the performance of medical care system. One of the key components of the biosensor networks is communication platform. This paper investigates the radio characteristics of a body sensor platform named Medi for the wearable body sensor networks. The radiofrequency signal efficiency of proposed Medi platform is evaluated through experiments. In order to investigate possible adverse health effects of wireless radiation on the human body, we further look into the electric field distribution of Medi sensor node.
