Resumo


This paper investigates WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) applications in health, and proposes implementation of IoT (Internet of Things) with ZigBee for Ambient Condition Monitoring in a Ubiquitous AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) environment. The data obtained from sensors (temperature and humidity) were combined so as to obtain the dew point temperature, which can be used as a thermal discomfort indicator of the users with some pre-disposition to respiratory problems. Monitored variables are transmitted via the Internet and stored in the supervisory system ScadaBR. These data can be monitored by the ScadaBR HMI (Human-Machine Interface) or consumed by another application so that caregivers can provide care to patients with a history of asthma attacks.
