Abstract

Recent technology-driven innovations, such as the body sensor network (BSN), provide an example of a medical device that assists in maintaining and improving the health status of a single user, or even multiple patients in a hospital ward. It is useful to simulate a BSN before manufacture and deployment to address usability, power consumption, communication channel, bandwidth limitations, and interference issues. The purpose of this project is to use high performance computing hardware to investigate energy consumption and communication channel issues for the BSN model. The graphics processing unit (GPU) is adopted to simulate the operation of the BSN model, which is comprised of MATLAB, Simulink, and CUDA code. This poster describes the development and evaluation of a body sensor network model, for acquiring and reporting the vital sign data for a single user in a simulated health monitoring scenario.
