Enhancing the performance of healthcare services using a ZigBee-based mobile monitoring system
by Kun-Yung Lu
International Journal of Healthcare Technology and Management (IJHTM), Vol. 13, No. 1/2/3, 2012

Abstract: This study focuses on the method of real-time data capturing and responding to the in-bed patients. A smart bed-monitoring application using a ZigBee sensor network was developed and implemented to enable the physician and the caregiver to access patient data so that they can respond instantly to any irregularity in the condition of in-bed patients. System functions include real-time system status sensing and data collection, intelligent event tracing and ad hoc response mechanisms. The aim is to give both patient and caregivers better control of health care, reducing the burden on caregivers as well as reducing emergent occurrences.
