Context Aware Intensive Care Unit Wireless System Analysis

Context Aware environments are key elements in order to implement Smart Health systems. Wireless communication systems are employed as the mechanisms in order to achieve interactivity, with high mobility and scalable properties. In this work, the analysis of wireless system operation in term of radio channel behavior is presented for the ICU premises within the Hospital Complex of Navarra, considering the operation of multiples wireless systems in the 2.4 GHz frequency band (i.e., WiFi, Wireless Sensor Networks and Bluetooth devices).
