Abstract

Large-scale Ad hoc Sensor Networks (ASNET), when deployed among mobile patients, can provide dynamic data query architecture to allow medical specialists to monitor patients at any place via the web or cellular network. In case of an emergency, doctors and/or nurses will be contacted automatically through their handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs) or cellular phones. The proposed network consists of sensor nodes at the first layer whose responsibility is to measure, collect and communicate, via wired or wireless, readings to a microcontroller representing the second layer of the pyramid. Deployed microcontrollers process incoming readings and report to a central system via a wireless interface. In this paper we implement a case study for tracking and monitoring doctors and patients using SNETs. In addition we develop a mathematical model to evaluate the performance of the proposed architecture.
