PHYSIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MONITORING

SYSTEM USING ZIGBEE TO IMPROVE

COMMUNICATION

Abstract :

This paper designs one physiological information monitor system based on the
ZigBee wireless communication protocol. The hardware structure is presented. The
network communication characteristic of this system was analyzed. The paper points out
the disadvantage of the connection method in the ZigBee protocol. One improved
connection method is proposed. Through carries on the comparison and the simulation to
the routing mechanism of the ZigBee protocol, we choose the routing mechanism. The
experimental and simulation results show that the Communicational efficiency and
stability have been enhanced.

Project Description :

In this project, we are monitoring the physiological information of the patient. The
physiological sensors can be used to measure the bio signals of the patient and send the
data to the control center through ZigBee wireless communication. The control center
takes the role of coordinator in the ZigBee network. Additionally, the control center can
display the physiological information from each monitor device and send them to a PC of
information server using RS-232. The patient’s health can be monitored and managed
anytime and anywhere. The physiological information monitor device hardware is formed
with Microcontroller.
