Wireless sensor networks (WSN) will become prevalent in many applications that relate to ubiquitous computing. Integrating a large scale system based on WSN is a challenging task that requires efficient management of hardware as well as software resources. Building a robust and reliable system is a must requirement for using WSN in biomedical applications like tele-health and health monitoring. This talks presents system level issues that must be accounted for building a large scale low power network. The talk is illustrated using the construction of a large health monitoring system. Also, as is evidenced by recent industry trends, this talk will highlight how various companies are positioning themselves to exploit this technology.
