The Real Time Wireless Sensor Network for Heart Beat Monitoring using Zigbee Module
Sanjay Kumar Singh, Rajesh Singh · 2012
Abstract- In this system using the features and technology of wireless sensor networks such as distributed and self-organization to build Heartbeat monitoring system, which can monitor the Heartbeat of human in real time. This system applies RF communication protocol and uses the 2.4 GHZ Zigbee as RF transceiver. It has the characteristics of low power consumption, low cost, flexible structure and accurate measurement, and it can achieve the long- distance Heartbeat monitoring of human in real time. The wireless Heartbeat sensor node senses and transmits the variations in the human Heartbeat to the central computing unit within the range. The central computing unit receives the data and stores it in the file and plotting the variations simultaneously. The results are displayed in matlab. The system achieve heartbeat within the distance of 100 meters approximately and are successful to remove all wired logic for monitoring. this paper proposes a solution to upgrade existing health monitoring systems in hospitals by providing remote monitoring capability.
