Abstract :
To meet the various communication requirements of the wearable medical sensor network, the reusable and expandable wireless communications platform has been developed. The connection between the central monitoring unit and the sensors around the body is implemented using the Bluetooth technology. And the data can be uploaded and downloaded to an external Internet server by the CDMA modem or Bluetooth LAN access point (LAP). The system used PDA as a central monitoring unit which records and displays the data received.
