MN691 Research Methods and Project Design Page 4 of 30AbstractRecent, advances in wireless networks and electronics have led to the emergence ofWireless Sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs have been considered as one of the most importanttechnologies that can change the future. These networks consist of small battery–poweredmotes with limited computation and radio communication capabilities. Each sensor in asensor network consists of three subsystems: the sensor subsystem which senses theenvironment, the processing subsystem which performs local computations on the senseddata, and the communication subsystem which is responsible for message exchanges withneighboring sensors. WSNs comprise tiny wireless computers that sense, process, andcommunicate environmental stimuli, including temperature, light, and vibration. WSNs havebeen under rapid development and has become essential in such domains as industrialoperations (factory, production, supply chains), health care (home monitoring, biomedical,food safety), environmental (agriculture, habitat preservation), infrastructure (energy, trafficand transportation, flood gauges, bridge stress, power grids, water distribution), and military,as well as for research and development.Advances in wireless sensor networking have opened up new opportunities inhealthcare systems. Sensor-based technology has invaded medical devices to replacethousands of wires connected to these devices found in hospitals. This technology has thecapability of providing reliability in addition to enhanced mobility. In the future, we will seethe integration of a vast array of wireless networks into existing specialized medicaltechnology.This paper will investigate the application of current state-of-the-art of wireless sensornetworks in health care systems and will address how WSN concepts are integrated in ourcomputer engineering program..4
MN691 Research Methods and Project Design Page 5 of 301.IntroductionGlobally, the elderly population is growing and the general population is aging. Lifeexpectancy continues to increase with new advancements in health care. Subsequently, thelength of retirement is increasing. Concurrently, more are living with chronic diseases such asheart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other forms of dementia, placing larger burdens onhealthcare systems. Today, more than 850 million people in the world who suffer fromchronic diseases are using up to 85% of the healthcare dollars. In the United States, thisamounts to more than $1.5 trillion dollars per year. According to the US Centers forMedicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the national health spending in the United States in2008 was estimated to be $2.4 trillion dollars. The cost of heart disease and stroke takesaround $394 billion. Consequently, the US health care system is facing daunting futurechallenges. The current situation is likely to worsen with the first baby boomers reachingretirement age in the next decade. For the first time, the elderly is expected to outnumber theyoung, not only in the United States but worldwide.Throughout the world, the over age 65 population is projected to more than double from357 million in 1990 to 761 million by 2025. In 1950, the total European elderly population(age 65+) approximated 45 million; by 1995 had already more than doubled to 101 million;and by 2025, is anticipated to exceed 173 million.2.Problem domain and research questionsFor Drivers for an alternative to residential aged care home the subsequent domainssquare measure recommended:a)Physical settingb)Locationc)Maintaining identityd)Keeping independencee)Maintaining continuityf)Staff capability and care with respect and dignityg)Availability of care and health services in any respect timesh)Trusting management5

We haveprepared the plan at the time we were starting the project and worked accordingly. We haveprepared the plan of 3 months (12 weeks) for our project work. Here we have mentioned alltask what we have done along with the project Gantt Chart.2.2Schedule tableHere we are defining our project flow with the time duration. The flow is having 11 levels ofworks that was divided into 12 weeks. As we mentioned here, we have already done most ofthe work based on this duration table.The project schedule shown below: -Table 1: Schedule Table for the Project6
