Wearable Wireless Sensor Node for Medical
Monitoring
GOAL To monitor a person's movements to detect
the physical manifestations of a disease such as
Alzheimer's by (1) Developing a complete Wireless
Sensor Node (2) Create an efficient wireless
protocol capable of communicating reliably for
extended periods of time (3) Operate with
existing data gathering mechanisms.
