Abstract:
Body sensors for e-health applications are involved in patients’ health monitoring and risk prediction systems. They can be used with RFID tags in some e-health applications which may be either internal or external. Body sensors are implantable and easy to fit around the particular organ in the human body. Long term diseases such as cancer, diabetic etc. need permanent body sensor. In this paper, RFID based body sensors are considered for e-health system and communications. This paper proposes a theoretical model of e-health system for people with diabetic and other long term diseases. In the theoretical model of risk prediction system, biosensor (glucose sensor) is considered as a body sensor. Quick care and resolution may be considered with latest technologies such as wireless networks, sensors and 2G-RFID system. Through this model, patients will be able to manage their life as normal because it is simple to use.
