摘要：With the increasing number of diabetes patients, the cost for monitoring the patients is generating a great financial burden. In this paper, we present a three-tier network architecture which facilitates healthcare monitoring for the diabetes patients automatically. We also proposed two flowcharts for our packet transmit based connection (PTC) method and received signal strength based reconnection deliver (RSSRD) method. Once powered-up the coordinator of the wireless body area network will use PTC method to connect the base station immediately. On the other hand, the RSSRD method provides an effective way to enable sustaining monitoring for diabetes patients.
