2.7.1. At-Home Health Reporting
Applications might include:
o Temperature
o Weight
o Blood pressure
o Insulin level
Measurements may be stored for long-term statistics. At the same
time, a critically high blood pressure may cause the generation of an
alarm report. Refer to Section 2.7.2.
To avoid a high number of request messages, nodes may be configured
to autonomously do a measurement and send a report in intervals.
2.7.2. At-Home Health Monitoring
An alarm event may become active, e.g., if the measured blood
pressure exceeds a threshold or if a person falls to the ground.
Alarm conditions must be reported with the highest priority and
timeliness.
Applications might include:
o Temperature
o Weight
o Blood pressure
o Insulin level
o Electrocardiogram (ECG)
o Position tracker
2.8. Alarm Systems
A home security alarm system is comprised of various sensors
(vibration, fire, carbon monoxide, door/window, glass-break,
presence, panic button, etc.).
Some smoke alarms are battery powered and at the same time mounted in
a high place. Battery-powered safety devices should only be used for
routing if no other alternatives exist to avoid draining the battery.
A smoke alarm with a drained battery does not provide a lot of
safety. Also, it may be inconvenient to change the batteries in a
smoke alarm.
