Path Loss Analysis on Biomedical Monitoring System

Path Loss Analysis on Biomedical Monitoring System is an analysis to
observe the path loss on interactive real-time wireless communication system
that monitor signal from human body. Using sensors and wireless networking,
health status of a person can be monitored. Tiny wireless sensor that placed on
the human body can be used to create a wireless body area network (WBAN).
Wearable system for health monitoring is the key technology to help the
transition to be more effective healthcare. This will allow patient to closely
monitor the changes in their vital signs and provide feedback to help
maintaining at optimal health status. This system can integrated into a
telemedical system, to alert medical personnel when life-threatening changes
occur. However, wireless communication has its own problem in term of path
loss depending on the environment. In addition, human body is one of the
environments with high path losses because of wave absorption from the
tissues and muscle.
