Abstract
Body Area Wireless Sensor Networks (BAWSNs) are self-organizing networks capable of monitoring health intrinsic data of a patient. BAWSNs extended with a health care application can be used to perform medical assessments by remotely monitoring patients. The accuracy of medical assessments fundamentally depends on the correctness of the data received from the BAWSN. However, data errors may arise at the sensor or during transmission across the wireless sensor network. Therefore, it is imperative to measure the health intrinsic data of a patient precisely. The formulated measurable properties in our work precisely measure the performance of the BAWSN in a remote Healthcare Monitoring Application (HMA). In this paper, we collated various performances using the measurable properties in our real-time test-bed and presented a comprehensive evaluation of these properties in a BAWSN.
