Abstract
Globally, wireless communication services are now widely use in the worldwide health care environments. Consequently, there is a need to provide quality of communication services to measure the patient’s body temperature based wireless technology. The notebook computers equipped with wireless are becoming widespread. Mobile or other sensors nodes with a single accessing from one AP (access point) to another AP have addressed the usefulness of these sensors in sending and retrieving data. This research has studied and reviewed different biological wireless sensors network by addressing the advantages and the disadvantages of these sensors for monitoring the body temperature. This research found that ZigBee platform provides a high communication performance for wireless monitoring systems. The proposed circuit is helping on generating early warnings from the received signals of the patient body. Moreover, the proposed circuit has the ability to determine the patient's temperature in real-time status inside the hospital. In addition, the adopted hardware and software requirements for this research were consisted on ZigBee wireless, AT89C52 microcontroller, and temperature sensor (100K6A1A). Finally, the proposed design has achieved acceptable performance in terms of temperature accuracy (±0.3 °C), maximum indoor coverage range (49 m), and 100% receiving data in multi-tag communications.
