在从个人到城市的空间中收集有关人们的身体，生理，心理，认知和行为过程的数据的需求与最近可用的实现这种数据收集的技术之间的汇合，近年来出现了用于医疗保健的无线传感器网络。在这篇综述中，我们提出了一些代表性的应用在医疗领域，并描述了他们引入无线传感器网络由于所需的可信度和需要确保医疗数据的隐私和安全性的挑战。无线传感器网络平台固有的资源稀缺性加剧了这些挑战。我们概述了从生理和活动监测到大规模生理和行为研究的应用领域的原型系统，并强调正在进行的研究挑战。
Driven by the confluence between the need to collect data about people's physical, physiological, psychological, cognitive, and behavioral processes in spaces ranging from personal to urban and the recent availability of the technologies that enable this data collection, wireless sensor networks for healthcare have emerged in the recent years. In this review, we present some representative applications in the healthcare domain and describe the challenges they introduce to wireless sensor networks due to the required level of trustworthiness and the need to ensure the privacy and security of medical data. These challenges are exacerbated by the resource scarcity that is inherent with wireless sensor network platforms. We outline prototype systems spanning application domains from physiological and activity monitoring to large-scale physiological and behavioral studies and emphasize ongoing research challenges.
