Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for medical purposes enables real-time (RT) acquisition of vital signals. In this context the network reliability, data integrity and RT delivery have extreme importance. The network should guarantee an appropriate level of Quality of Service (QoS). This paper presents the QoS parameters and metrics of standard telemedicine and WSNs based Medical Applications (MA), and a strategy, based on QoS monitoring, to prevent QoS degradation in WSNs for MA.
