AED: Adaptive Energy-Efficient Data Transmission Scheme for Heart Disease Detection

Next generation health and fitness wearable devices offer the opportunities for improving personalized healthcare. To detect and predict health problems, wearable devices with limited power resource need to transmit sensing data uninterruptedly that could be a huge challenge. Many exist researches use various ways to reduce the energy consumption but, to the best of our knowledge, no one employs physical activities integrated with data transmission technique to save the power. In this paper, we have developed an Adaptive Energy-efficient Data transmission (AED) scheme, which can detect critical events such as myocardial infarction and, at the same time, minimizes data transmission from the devices. Simulation results show that AED reduces the number of transmission by 71.35% for continuous data transmission and 30.33% for batch data transmission.
