Analizando el consumo energético de una red de sensores inalámbricos biomédicos en un Electrocardiograma
Rosa Franco, Héctor Poveda · 2015
Biomedical wireless sensor networks have emerged due to the need to collect medical data from patients faster. One of the key features of these networks should be a low power consumption. ZigBee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology is characterized by low power consumption and low data transfer to a small area of coverage, which is suitable for wireless biomedical applications. For this reason, this paper presents a study and analysis of BLE and Zigbee technologies in network of wireless biomedical sensors implemented in the human body for sending data to a mobile device, through an application that displays the results of an electrocardiogram. The main contribution of this paper is to encourage engineers to implement these technologies in wireless sensor networks. Another aim is to encourage researchers and scientists to innovate in the development of methods to reduce energy consumption in wireless biomedical sensor network.
