摘要：The enhancement of existing electronics healthcare (e-health) has used internet-based embedded sensing biomedical devices. The biomedical devices are capable to interact with other mobile applications to deliver healthcare services on a global scale. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) working group has introduced IPv6 over wireless personal area networks (6LoWPAN). The 6LoWPAN technology has capability to support Internet over wireless sensor networks (WSN). This paper has introduced the convergence of mobility and energy consumption mechanism to support global healthcare communications services with the use of 6LoWPAN based biomedical sensors. The energy management mechanism helps to increase the lifetime of IETF-6LoWPAN devices during the movement of patient�s in personal area networks (PAN). In this system, several biomedical sensors fixed on the patient�s body area networks with the association of 6LoWPAN technology to support global communication. We have presented a smart hospital scenario for global healthcare monitoring applications such as ECG, PPG, Blood-pressure, Temperature etc.
