| Popis: | Wireless medical body sensors are a key technology for unobtrusive health monitoring. The easy setup of such wireless body area networks is crucial to protect the user from the complexity of these systems. But automatically forming a wireless network comprising all sensors attached to the same body is challenging. We present a method for making wireless body-worn medical sensors aware of the persons they belong to by combining body-coupled with wireless communication. This enables a user to create a wireless body sensor network by just sticking the sensors to her body. A personal identifier allows sensors to annotate their readings with a user ID thereby ensuring safety in personal healthcare environments with multiple users. |
