E-Way for Health Monitoring and Alert System using Wireless Mode of Transmission

This paper presents a project on monitoring a person’s health and in case of emergency, sending the data to the nearest hospital to take the further action using wireless networks. With large-scale wireless networks and mobile computing solutions, such as cellular 3G, Wi-Fi, Wi-MAX, Bluetooth, and Wireless Sensor Networks, health care personnel can tap into vital information anywhere and at any time within the health care networks. Ubiquitous healthcare, although promising, there are myriad challenges associated with realizing its vision. This paper highlights some snapshots of current uses and future trends of various wireless communications in the healthcare domains, addresses their applications for e-health, states the challenges faced in a ubiquitous healthcare environment equipped with different wireless technologies, and how the resulting issues might be addressed by developing a framework that provides a flexible and convenient medical monitoring, consultation, and healthcare.
