Abstract
Most conventional telemedicine systems use fixed wired LAN, cable, and other land line systems to transmit medical data or operations. As wireless technology becomes increasingly pervasive, e-health professionals are considering wireless networks for their mobile medicine systems with the advent of e-health care, a wide range of technologies can now be applied to provide medical care products and services. In this paper, we evaluate smart sensor network architecture for e-health applications. This architecture based on multiple complementary wireless communications access networks between the patient and the system, through UMTS, WiMax, and the Internet.
