Abstract(s)
Body sensor networks (BSN) appeared as an
application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) to medicine
and biofeedback. Such networks feature smart sensors
(biosensors) that capture bio-physiological parameters from
people and can offer an easy way for data collection. BSNs
also need suitable interfaces for data processing, presentation,
and storage for latter retrieval. As a result, Bluetooth
technology can be used to communicate with several more
powerful and graphical user interface (GUI)-enabled devices
such as mobile phones or regular computers. Taking into
account that people currently use mobile and smart phones, it
offers a good opportunity to propose a suitable mobile system
for BSN networks. This paper presents a BSN mobile solution
for biofeedback monitoring using the four major smart phone
platforms: Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, and iPhone.
As case study, a sensing health with intelligence modularity,
mobility and experimental reusability (SHIMMER) platform
with a core-body temperature sensor enabled to construct the
BSN was used. The four mobile applications were evaluated
and validated, and are ready for use.
