SGER: Patient Monitoring using Ad Hoc Wireless Networks

Georgia State University Research Foundation, Inc., Atlanta GA

Investigators

Abstract

This SGER explores reliable patient monitoring through the use of patient-worn sensors and associated ad-hoc wireless networks. Patient devices offer a unique environment to investigate, where the receivers are health care providers requiring reliable and timely delivery of sensor data in various topologies and across various distances. The PI will investigate wireless network design, routing and multicast protocols supporting delivery of patient data, and performance evaluation.
