Projects
Overview
Project | Domain | Network Architecture | Devices | Sensors | Provides |
Code Blue | Patient monitoring | Flat architecture, just looks at collection | Motes | SpO2, HR, EKG, motion | Patient monitoring, Reliable Routing, Localization |
AID-N | Disaster recovery - Triage | Two-tier architecture, 802.15.4 and 802.11 | Motes, PDAs | SpO2, HR, ECG | Patient monitoring, Continuous monitoring of triage levels |
CodeBlue
- AMDR Routing:
- support for pub/sub
- routing state proportional to the # of publishers (an entry in the table for each publisher)
- route discovery initiated when a device requests to publish data, requires flooding
- a subscriber that wants to receive data from a channel sends a route reply on the reverse path (handles asymmetric links)
- routes are updated through periodic floods (every 15s)
- negative results on mobility
- path metric (PDR)
- for each link, estimate LDR by mapping the measured LQI to a link delivery estimator. This model is determined empirically.
- PDR is the product of all LDRs of the links along the path
- see CodeBlue Technical Report
SMART (Scalable Medeical Alert Response Technology)
- Domain: disaster recovery, triage
- Network architecture: 802.11b
- Two types of devices: patient monitoring and caregiver
- Devices: PDAs

- medical: SpO2, ECG from MIT
- Functions:
- vital sign monitoring
- vital sign analysis & alarms
- localization
