Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used in the monitoring of biomedical parameters of a person using body sensors. ZigBee is wireless communication technology. This mode can be implemented for observing such parameter variations in a patient under investigation at health care centers. Among these, ZigBee is the genuine solution for network connectivity. There are popular solutions to remotely observe health parameter and most are used for cardiac monitoring. The majority systems are expensive. This paper deals with most of the biomedical parameters of a patient like heartbeats, body temperature, glucose levels (O2), respiratory conditions and so on, by which individuals can be monitored from a remote location and unusual abnormalities, can be quickly indicated through messaging assistance. The physiological quantities obtained from sensors are transferred to the programmed microcontroller to the c1omputers over ZigBee. A healthcare professional retrieves this information over a secure connection. This service makes it feasible to locate patients even while they are outside of the healthcare center. This system is cost effective and the results indicate that the system has a very good response time.
