Abstract :
Telemedicine can be implemented using a sensor network that carries users´ biometric information collected by tiny intelligent sensors attached to the human body. We propose a communication system that can be used for telemedicine to improve the Quality of Life of individuals, which uses a sensor network and a sensor database with mutual authentication to ensure security. Finally, this paper describes the priority control mechanism and experiments using it and clarifies the real-time performance of the proposed communication sensor network system.
