Abstract

Aged home-health care data monitoring and transmission will become a critical issue in the near future. The care, treatment, and regimen of the aged population will overload the medical community with excessive monitored patient data. To accommodate this data stream, a specific medical RF network would allow a normalized transmission environment for medical data and voice channels. This network might have inception as a IEEE standard, much as the proposed Medical information Bus (IEEE p-1073).
