| Summary: | Telemetry in healthcare refers to an autonomic process by which remote measurements of patients are
taken and transmitted from non-Internet Protocol based equipment for monitoring purposes. The
transmission is through specialized channels of communication using non-standard, proprietary
processes. Internet of Things, an expansion of wireless sensor network technologies, aims to
standardize the communication methods between such devices. The application of wireless sensor
networks in healthcare is referred to as Health-Nets where networked sensors are deployed on a
person‟s body to monitor vital functions. This paper discusses early work for a messaging
communication system in an attempt to make Health-Nets compatible with the IoT by simplifying the
interfaces. Concerns of data management, addressing, IoT telemetry and the corresponding security
requirements are addressed as well. Preliminary observations of performance on a testbed are
presented. |
