Monitoring Software for Wireless Sensor Network in Patients Medical Condition Observation

Zhasurbek Nishanov

Master's thesis

Abstract:

Nowadays in medical field the patient's health condition monitoring is one of main and primarily researching areas. Implementing the wireless network in this direction opens a lot of opportunities and presents several challenges to researchers such as, reliable sending the datas form several transmitters to the main monitor, preparing the sending data in efficient form for transmitting, security of the private datas etc. In this thesis the main problematics of the wireless communication are presented, considered weaknesses of using wireless communication, TCP/IP protocol, and offered the solution how to fight with them. It's created wireless virtual patient's health monitoring system on the base of multi-client and multi-server principle by using NI IDE LabView 2021. The health data is simulated ECG datas, which are sent from several clients to the several servers, and they are immediately presented to the doctoral monitor. Transmitting carries out through the Wi-Fi, the TCP/IP protocol. As a final result it's obtained the working sample of a virtual monitor with required functionality according to the assignment, moreover there are presented theoretical and programming basis for implementation the Blowfish algorithm to protect the data.
