Abstract:
In this article we present the types of wireless sensor network (WSN) and their application in the medical field,including patient monitoring,disability assistance,emergency rescue and biological monitoring.Then we propose the challenges that WSN has to face in medical field concerning the development issue of safety,energy consumption and reliability.Finally,foreground of the WSN technology is prospected.
