Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks: Charecterization and case study for confined spaces healthcare applications
Diego Martínez, Francisco Blanes, José E. Simó, Alfons Crespo · Proceedings of the International Multiconference on Computer Science and Information Technology · 2008
Nowadays developments in wireless sensor and actuators networks (WSAN) applications are determined by the fulfillment of constraints imposed by the application. For this reason, in this work a characterization of WSAN applications in health, environmental, agricultural and industrial sectors are presented. A case study for detecting heart arrhythmias in non-critical patients during rehabilitation sessions in confined spaces is presented, and finally an architecture for the network and nodes in these applications is proposed.
