Emergency Prenatal Telemonitoring System in Wireless Mesh Network
Abstract: Telemedicine
promises a great opportunity for health care service improvement. However, it
has several issues for its implementation in certain area. They include
communication service quality, infrastructure and operational cost. Since
Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is designed to reduce the infrastructure cost and
operational cost, an investigation of network performance for implementation of
telemedicine is required. In this paper,
a simulation to investigate the wireless mesh network quality of service. Using network simulator 2, The QoS
performance analysis was performed in different routing protocol scenarios of
proposed system. It showed that OLSR protocol for Mesh Network maintained the
time transfer of the EPT data. The field testing of the proposed system to
measure the distance with various time has already been done. The infrastructure has been also implemented
using low cost 5.8 GHz transceiver for backhauls and low cost 2.4 GHz
transceiver for clients. Test result
shows that the low cost telemedicine system is able to do real time
communication between patient and medical staff with medical data rate up to 2
Mbps. It shows that telemonitoring system using wireless mesh network can give
a low cost application in emergency time with acceptable medical data transfer
quality.
