Recent advances in wireless communication technology have opened the way for long-term health monitoring applications. In this paper, we introduce the BASUMA project, which will develop novel biomedical sensors and a wireless communication platform that provides connectivity among these sensors. This enables new, intelligent medical applications.

The design and implementation of the wireless medium access control (MAC) protocol is the major focus of this paper. We describe our work-in-progress on hardware/ software co-design, in particular, our co-simulation framework for profiling and performance estimation.
