Key result
A wireless sensor network system using the Waseda Hibikino Module-2 was developed to monitor human physiological signals such as heartbeat rate and body temperature in real-time.
A novel wireless sensor network system was developed for real-time monitoring of physiological signals to potentially prevent adverse events like heart attacks.
May enable remote vital-sign surveillance in cardiac care; leaves open validation of clinical outcomes and safety.
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a wireless sensor network system which can monitor human physiological signals of heartbeat rate and body temperature. Design/methodology/approach When physiological activity occurs, signals are generated. By measuring these signals, human activity can be monitored. With the help of a new network module named Waseda Hibikino Module‐2, which can transmit not only data, but also based of physiological signals, a wireless sensor network is established. Findings While measuring physiological signals, a stable system is required. From human body to the terminal in a hospital, data must be sent completely, especially for example the heartbeat rate. And a stable transmission protocol must be applied during this process of wireless transmission. Originality/value This technology represents a new real‐time monitoring system of human physiological signals. With single data processing, it can prevent different kind of situations before a bad status like a heart attack occurs.
