Performance evaluations power consumption, and heterogeneousity of WSNs in medical field

Abstract

With the rapid development of technology, and the prevalence of the aging population, researchers are focusing on how these technology can aid medical care, especially, the care of older people. Thus, the technologist strife to develop sensors and other peripherals to address the demands in our life, and to achieve patients’ satisfaction. On the other hand, clinical staff like doctors and nurses should be able to handle technology in as simple a way as possible. Nowadays we able to communicate with our peripheral environment by using different sensors and gateways. The aim of this paper is to report and survey the main applications of wireless sensors networks, which are power efficient and heterogeneous in the medical field. We attempt to show the relationship and collaboration between healthcare, engineering and the computer science fields, we will illustrate the new technologies, how they are evaluated, and what are the simulators and hardwires they use. The advantage for the development of sensors and communications and using heterogeneous at medical field make the monitoring easier, faster and efficiency.
