Abstract
To improve the quality of life, wireless ad-hoc network technologies are considered as one of the key research areas in computer science and healthcare application industries. The ubiquitous healthcare systems also provide alerting mechanisms against ill conditions in real time. This minimizes the need for care-givers and helps the chronically ill and elderly to survive. For the application of the system, supporting the efficient and proper network system is essential. So in this paper, I suggest some hospital network environments including patient mobile nodes continuously sending brainwaves to the server of the hospital area. Finally, the network systems are simulated by OPnet simulator and evaluate the performance among various mobility of the mobile nodes and topologies of the network for the efficient system.
