Distributed wireless sensor network technologies have become one of the major research areas in healthcare industries due to rapid maturity in improving the quality of life. The implementation of ubiquitous healthcare systems provides rich contextual information and warning mechanisms against abnormal conditions with continual and remote monitoring of patients. This minimizes the need for healthcare professionals and helps the ill and elderly to survive an independent life as well as aid stationary and mobile patients in preventive medicine. This research studies the deployment of distributed wireless sensors networks for monitoring of patients and report tracking to central database server containing patient vital information. This study performs optimization scheme for optimal placement of wireless sensors and movement coordination techniques within the patient monitoring area where patients can be mobile as they perform their daily activities. A movement tracking algorithm is proposed for better patient report tracking techniques and aid in optimal deployment of wireless sensor networks. Results show that wireless sensors can be exploited for better application of preventive medicine and improve the network coverage of the patient being monitored and tracked.
