Physiological measurement using wireless transmission is
becoming a trend. Y. Fang and others [8] used Bluetooth and
GPRS technology to implement a real-time health
information acquisition and alarm system. It is mainly used to
detect the BP and pulse of the cardiovascular and
cerebrovascular disease patient, send the monitoring data to
the information analyzing center by the aid of Bluetooth and
mobile communication device. Compared with infrared and
Bluetooth technology, ZigBee doesn’t have the advantages of
transmission speed and efficiency. But it has some
advantages with low power consumption, low cost and small
size. ZigBee wireless transmission is gradually used in home
automation, home security and personal healthcare treatment.
Health monitoring system is also using ZigBee wireless data
transmission [9]. We can see the future of ZigBee
applications would be very promising.
