Abstract
The WBAN technology means a short distance wireless network which provides each device's interactive communication by connecting devices inside and outside of body located within 3 meters. It is necessary to develop core technology that the WBAN middleware and application service for WBAN sensor network. A device for gathering patient's biometric information was used zigbex of Hanbaek electronics and we designed the message structure which is collected the biometric information. The gateway design and implementation for the WBAN environment. The embedded system was HBE-empos II of Hanbaek electronics and the WBAN network is implemented to BNC and BN that used for hbe-ubi-zigbex. It was confirmed that the proposed sensor gateway could be used for the interconnection of the proposed system with other networks.
