BAN-based health telemonitoring system for in-home care

The aim of the research is to build a prototype of the BAN-based monitoring system for in-home care. The system consists of body central unit with Bluetooth module and selected both wearable and stationary sensors that monitor human physiological and movement parameters. Body central unit acquires data from wearable sensors and transmit it wirelessly to the home base station for analysis and storage. The home base station sends data to the remote medical server where they are available via web based graphical interface. The system was tested by six volunteers in home environment. The maximum measured packet loss rate was 2%. Experimental results showed that proposed system was feasible and can provide with information about selected health parameters to physicians or family what can improve the patient quality of life.
