Abstract
Mobile Sensor Networks are constituted on ad-hoc basis by tiny mobile sensor nodes deployed randomly over an area. The automatic random localization of mobile nodes may serve many potential applications where dynamicity and continuity are critically important. In this paper we envision one such application of health management. In most of the severe health risk, the patient is kept under intensive observation to collect post treatment health data about the patient. Sometime the observation period is prolonged, and just contributes to the traffic in the hospital. Post treatment under the observation period a patient - equipped with various body sensors - may be shifted to a nearby affordable locality where a patient may perform unguided longer walk also. The body sensors will continuously be disseminating the various health data to a data repository in the hospital where the concerned doctor has the access to look it up. As the sensor networks are formed on ad-hoc basis, so they are prone for loss. In our solution, we propose a random movement of a set of mobile sensor nodes between the body sensors and the repository and responsible to strengthen the ad-hoc wireless sensor network, the transmitting medium between them.
