HUMAN BODY COMMUNICATIONS FOR IOT ENABLED AMBULATORY HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS
HUMAN BODY COMMUNICATIONS FOR IOT ENABLED AMBULATORY HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS 11 Increasing market demand for high performance and portable computing devices requires energy efficient devices. When a network of devices is considered, as in the case of the Internet of Things, it is important to consider low power design at the sensor/actuator level as well as in the sensor network Human body communication has proven to be an efficient mode of communication for near field body sensor network applications. In this paper we propose an architecture for an ambulatory health monitoring system using a body coupled communication channel. 11 PROPOSED SYSTEM 11 · The proposed monitoring system is energy efficient since it employs a low power communication channel for inter and intra sensor communication, which decreases the power budget of indvidual sensors. 11 · Depicts the proposed health monitoring system. When the vital signs are t...
