ABSTRACT
The trends in health-care costs and developments in wireless sensors lead to a reasonable advancement toward telemedicine. Many hospitals across the globe are adapting to this latest wireless technology by integrating the available biomedical sensors with commercially available Radio frequency identification (RFID) networks to create an intelligent wireless health-care network that in recent times is more generally known as mHealth or telemedicine. Standards have been produced to cover four key areas of RFID application and use: It is important to note that there are no published RFID standards that particularly define the physical layer communication protocol or frequencies for biomedical or telemedicine applications. Biomedical sensors are the basic building blocks of diagnostic medicine and therefore communicating with patients and biomedical sensors at great distances via existing or existential data networks is inevitable for advancement of telemedicine. The role of oral sensors in telemedicine has been established for over a decade.
