Résumé:
With the rapid development of Wireless Sensors
Network (WSN) technology, together with its growing market
due to the variety of applications in which this technology can be
used, sensors are now available at very cheap prices, and
relatively high quality. The medical field among other fields is
one of the most promising fields in which sensors technology is
undergoing great improvements. With the constant and
continuing advances on the wireless sensor networks and
applications, lots of medical applications that use sensors are
emerging. Varying from pre-hospital, in-hospital applications to
post-hospital and rehabilitation applications, sensors are used in
a wide range of applications such as patient's drug
administration to elderly remote supervision. With the lake of
standardization, a framework that would govern the interaction
between the applications and the network is a must to be capable
of sensing, processing, and communicating vital health signs. In
this research we proposed layered approach architecture for a
lightweight portable middleware with the Android technology.
Our system takes into consideration the design principles and
issues related to medical applications. A prototype of the
lightweight middleware for an e-Health WSN based System was
designed and tested and we showed that the results are very
promising
