As the worlds population ages, those suffering from diseases of the elderly will increase. The health care expenditures will increase rapidly and become non-affordable for the governments around the world. New technology and new model for patient healthcare must be found to relieve the pressure ol finance and society.

This will improve the quality of life of patients, provide early detection for certain ailments, and improve doctor-patient efficiency. In this paper we detail some basal concepts of wireless sensor network first. The possible security issues, privacy issues and legal issues are argued at the second part.
