無線傳感器網絡在醫療監護中的性能要求

　　本文以應用于無線個人區域網絡醫療監測傳感器的不同類型和他們的數據需求映射到不同的無線網絡協議，從BPAN ZigBee和藍牙低能量。它涵蓋的產品如Freescale EKG開發工具包，以及藍牙和ZigBee設備從德克薩斯文書，飛思卡爾和ATMEL。

　　個人區域網絡，特別是醫療系統，都是關于傳感器的。其目的是從身體周圍的一系列傳感器中獲取數據，并將這些信息帶到一個可以存儲、分析和必要時迅速采取行動的地方。使用電線將傳感器連接到基站已經限制了該技術在醫院房間的使用，限制了潛在的救生系統的廣泛使用。利用無線技術將傳感器連接到基站，為監測病人和系統開發的新機會開辟了新的途徑。

　　根據全球技術研究公司的數據，這些無線傳感器網絡正在改變消費者和醫療機構對健康和健康的看法。

　　In 2017， 18.2 million health and wellness WSN systems — excluding sports and fitness devices — will be shipped worldwide and annual revenues enabled by these systems will reach $16.3 billion. Cloud connected services will make up 53% of the revenues in five years.

　　By that time， solutions for chronic conditions such as blood glucose management and cardiac/ECG monitoring will make up 60% of the revenues. However， general wellness will increase by 1600% over the next five years when it will make up 41% of the device shipments.

　　Health cloud platforms combined with sensor networks are also providing bundling opportunities for telehealth， telecare and home service providers， with over half focused on self-management， prevention and general wellness. Smartphone and cellular innovations include diabetes management systems， electrocardiograph （ECG） monitoring system and an NFC blood pressure monitor. A growing number of Bluetooth health products are emerging for use with smartphones for blood glucose monitoring as well as blood pressure monitors.
