Using WiMAX Network in a Telemonitbring System
Traditionally, medical care uses outpatient or inpatient models to solve patients problems. However, the inconvenience of transportation frequently causes delay in health care for homedwelling patients with chronic diseases, resulting in inequality of medical care. This paper proposes a telemonitoring system based on WiMAX network for monitoring and delivering health care service to home-dwelling chronic hypertension patients, with the idea of improving the accessibility of medical care by utilizing the benefits of Internet to construct a ubiquitous health care environment The paper compared and analyzed three wireless Networks: WiMAX, WiFi and HSDPA, and found that WiMAX has the best performance regarding to stability as a long-distance health care delivery platform. A questionnaire survey in the hospital also revealed that the medical staff are highly recognized with telemedicine, which supports and serves as a reference for the designing of the telemonitoring system.
