| Popis: | Promising developments in the light-emitting diode (LED) technology have urged the interest to adapt LEDs for both illumination and data transmission. LED is expected to be the main lighting source in the future due to its energy-efficient characteristics as compared to the conventional incandescent and fluorescent lighting. Visible light communication (VLC) provides flexibility and convenience for patients and avoids the risk of disturbance from electromagnetic waves. VLC has no associated health concerns, and it is suitable for use in hospitals and also provides high data rates. This paper proposes a novel approach in the transmission of healthcare information using the up-and-coming wireless visible light communication technology. |
