Biomedical signal monitoring using wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks are one of the technologies that will revolutionize the world in this new century, thanks to its various applications in the environmental field and in the biomedical field. This article focuses its main efforts in learning the basic principles and major characteristics at the time of establishing the design of a functional prototype for the monitoring of biomedical signals, taking into account the topology of the network, the acquisition of signals using sensors specific to that type of environment, and analysis that form a wireless sensor network, resulting a basis for future advances in research and development of biomedical equipment to establish diagnosis of patients remotely with wireless technologies.
