传感器网络是一种新型设备，有可能彻底改变急救人员使用的关键数据的捕获、处理和通信。 CodeBlue 将传感器节点和其他无线设备集成到灾难响应设置中，并为自组织网络形成、资源命名和发现、安全性以及传感器生成的数据的网络内聚合提供设施。我们为快速变化的重症监护环境设计了 CodeBlue。为了测试它，我们为急救人员开发了两个无线生命体征监视器和一个基于 PDA 的分类应用程序。此外，我们还开发了 MoteTrack，这是一种基于射频 (RF) 的强大定位系统，可让救援人员确定他们在建筑物内的位置并跟踪患者。尽管我们在 CodeBlue 上的大部分工作都是初步的，但我们在医疗保健传感器网络方面的初步经验带来了许多令人兴奋的机遇和挑战。
Sensor networks, a new class of devices has the potential to revolutionize the capture, processing, and communication of critical data for use by first responders. CodeBlue integrates sensor nodes and other wireless devices into a disaster response setting and provides facilities for ad hoc network formation, resource naming and discovery, security, and in-network aggregation of sensor-produced data. We designed CodeBlue for rapidly changing, critical care environments. To test it, we developed two wireless vital sign monitors and a PDA-based triage application for first responders. Additionally, we developed MoteTrack, a robust radio frequency (RF)-based localization system, which lets rescuers determine their location within a building and track patients. Although much of our work on CodeBlue is preliminary, our initial experience with medical care sensor networks raised many exciting opportunities and challenges.
