Driven by the demographic variation in population
and degradation of health care quality, we have witnessed in the
recent years the explosion of healthcare applications market in
order to provide high quality care. Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSN) seem to be an attractive technology to deploy this
type of applications thanks to their advantages of simplicity of
deployment, safe of use and reduced installation cost. In this
paper we present a specific medical application on which we
work in collaboration with the Henri Mondor University Hospital
Center in France. This application aims to monitor patients’
physiological parameters and track their localizations within the
hospital. We describe in this paper tests performed in our lab and analyze the first results of implementation of a sensor network platform.
