Suggesting infection causes monitoring system based on wireless sensor network for hospital infection control

This paper has attempted to provide an interdisciplinary research for efficient hospital infection control. The suggested system operates on wireless sensor network that enables context-awareness and ubiquitous service. This system is expected to provide not only new values that are helpful to overcome the limitations of the current HIC but also market opportunities for the WSN to be diffused over organizations. In order to develop an appropriate system, this paper has reviewed literatures and conducted field interviews to find out the real problems and requirements. After the designing the system, the value and feasibility of the system were verified by five industry professionals. In conclusion, the system is expected to contribute to solve the current problems in HIC.
