Utilization and issues of wireless communication in medical environment

Abstract

The use of electronic information, such as electronic medical records, is expanding at medical sites.In addition, the use of wireless communication as data transmission has increased due to the use of ICT in medical devices.As for vital sign devices and sensors, those that support wireless communication as IoT devices are also expanding.Utilization of sensor data from IoT devices has also begun for medical safety and monitoring purposes.For these reasons, the wireless communication environment has become an important infrastructure.Another challenge is to share radio waves not only in wireless LANs but also in many types of wireless communications.Since many radio waves are used, it is important to prevent radio interference.Therefore, radio wave management in medical institutions is a very important action.
