Enhanced Optical Wireless Communication System for Bio-signal Monitoring Applications

Abstract

In this paper, optical wireless communication (OWC) technology based mobile remote care unit is proposed. Since, the existing RF based medical systems are suffer with misdiagnosis due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and the influence of the radiation field on medical equipment s. These issues are addressed with the help of OWC links between the medical sensors and receiver fixed in the ceiling of the hospital room. The power efficiency of the proposed system is analyzed. The results show the importance of OWC over the RF communication network in healthcare monitoring systems. 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
