基于无线传感器网络 (WSN) 的以患者为中心的远程健康监测应用程序旨在通过智能手机远程监测多个健康参数，而不仅仅是固定在医院环境中。附着在人体上的微型传感器节点用于将生物医学数据无线传输到智能手机的基站。具有类似PC功能的智能手机充当WSN中的查询处理器，通过一组诊断算法在本地接收和分析接收到的生物医学数据。智能手机的无线网络功能可以通过移动互联网与网络服务器进行远距离通信和数据传输。作为远程健康监测应用的延伸，条码技术用于协助慢性病患者日常用药过程，验证并确保服用正确的药物。该应用程序的设计基于以患者为中心的理念，患者能够自行监测和解释健康状况，以防止疾病恶化。它还旨在减少资源压力、医疗成本并教育患者更多地了解自己的疾病和所需的治疗。采用无线传感器网络技术和条码技术，实现医疗保健的移动性和灵活性。
A patient-centered remote health monitoring application over Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is designed to monitor multiple health parameters remotely through a smart phone, not only fix at a hospital setting. Miniature sensor nodes attached on a human body are used to transmit the biomedical data wirelessly to the base station at the smart phone. Smart phone with PC-like functionalities acts as a query processor in WSN to receive and analyze received biomedical data locally with a set of diagnosis algorithms. Smart phone's wireless networking capabilities enables communication with and data transmission to the web server over the distance via the mobile Internet network. As an extension to the remote health monitoring application, barcode technology is used to assist chronic diseases patients in their daily medication processes, verifies and ensures the right medicines are taken. The application is designed based on the concept of patient-centered where a patient is able to monitor and interpret health condition on his own to prevent his diseases turning worse. It is also aimed to reduce resources pressures, medical costs and educate patient to be more knowledgeable about his diseases and treatment needed. WSN technology and barcode technology is adopted to achieve mobility and flexibility in healthcare.
