Abstract [eng] Nowadays, remote patient health monitoring using wireless technology plays very important role in our society. Wireless technology helps monitoring of physiological parameters like body temperature, heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and ECG. Wireless sensor nodes can be either wearable or implanted into a human body. Nodes communicate with each other using certain short-range wireless technology: Bluetooth, ZigBee etc. Therefore, the first focus of the work presented in this thesis are the experimental evaluation of the signal propagation between sensor and sink in accordance with sensor position on human body and transmission environment. According these data define the best working performance zones for our system. The other aspect, that is very important for wireless body area network(WBAN) networks sensor lifetime. Lifetime extension is a critical issue for WBAN with limited battery life. Therefore, is presented the development of the model for simulation of performance of the sensor network under various conditions is presented in this thesis. The definition of wireless sensor nodes energy model for balancing energy is too. Simulation results show how maximum slaves can be connected to one master at the same time for transmission of information. The wide diffusion of healthcare monitoring systems allows continuous patients to be remotely monitored continuously and diagnosed by doctors. Because the most of patent using smartphone they need the application for monitoring health sensors. In this thesis, I present the solution to monitor patient health from a remote area. It was developed by an android based mobile application and PC through which the user (doctor/patient) can see the necessary patient’s records information in a chart. These platforms can be customized for individual users and an application-specific set of sensors then seamlessly integrated into a WBAN.
