Wireless sensors and wireless sensor networks have the potential to bring great flexibility to the healthcare market but they will not be widely adopted unless issues surrounding integration and interoperability are carefully considered and resolved. Standardization is still an ongoing process. The significant demand for standardization has led to a number of initiatives from regulatory and industry-led groups.

This Research Report examines the existing regulations and protocols that can be leveraged to help standardize connectivity in the wireless sensor healthcare market, as well as highlighting areas in which additional standards are required and are being developed.
