Abstract

In the context of remote patient monitoring, we propose in this paper a radio free solution based system to transmit health related data. We investigate wireless optical technology based on diffuse infrared links, which presents the advantage to be secure regarding electromagnetic interference, low-cost and easy to deploy. Two different monitoring scenarios are considered, both composed of an emitter worn by a mobile patient and receivers fixed in the environment. The first scenario is the continuous remote monitoring of heart rate and temperature and the second one involves accelerometer data. To evaluate the wireless mobile link reliability for the two scenarios, we have developed custom made systems using commercially available components. The experimental performance is established in terms of packet loss to evaluate the potentiality of wireless optical technology.
