摘要：Wireless sensor network provides a useful method to acquire and monitor the physiological signals of a patient. Bluetooth has a wide variety of applications in the medical field. Previously in a patient monitoring system, the physiological signals of a patient are transferred by using piconet. And it has some drawbacks such as limited number of nodes and limited communication range. To overcome these drawbacks, we proposed a system using Bluetooth scatternet. In this proposed model three piconets are interconnected to form Scatternet Sensor Network. The first and second piconet consists of one master node (local nurse) and five slaves nodes (patients). The third piconet consists of one master node (Chief nurse) and three slave nodes (Chief Doctors). Chief nurse act as a bridge node, which interconnect three piconets. The patients are at 24�7 critical care. If anything critical occurs, the Chief Doctor receives the data and sends acknowledge to the concerned patient. Furthermore, with the help of this system, medical personnel can take care of a few patients simultaneously, and thus, the personnel expenses can be reduced.
