Abstract

The development of low-cost electronic modules with varied characteristics, the availability of single-board computers, SBC, along with the free access to their programming tools, have supported the generalization of remote variable monitoring and control systems. Among the later, wireless sensor networks, WSAN, play an important role in the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) due, amid other reasons, to the ease of implementation and the flexibility they can provide. The design of a network of this type, dedicated to the remote recording of physiological variables and their processing, must meet certain requirements that depend on the characteristics of the variable to be measured and the conditions in which it is acquired. Real-time operation, a common need in biosignal measurement systems, is challenging from the point of view of device programming, associated circuit design, wireless network configuration, and other factors that can be modified and must be evaluated in practice. This work presents the evaluation of the performance of a WSAN network for the measurement and processing of biosignals, and its dependence on the possible network configurations, types of signals, processing algorithms; the possibility of extending its scope to IoT environments is also analyzed. The results indicate the feasibility of the proposal and its flexibility to be adapted to different environments.
