Abstract
Bluetooth, a part of Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), is a short-range
communications technology that replaces cables connecting portable and/or
fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The speed associated
with Bluetooth technology is of the order of 1 Mega Bits per Second (Mbps).
The key features of Bluetooth Technology are robustness, low power, and low
cost. As patients and healthcare organizations increasingly adopt new forms of
healthcare service delivery including telemedicine, home healthcare, managed
care etc, the need for mobility in the healthcare industry has only increased.
These new diagnostic and treatment modalities have also increased the need for
flexibility and leveraged usage of staff driving the healthcare industry to

with the technology, healthcare organizations and patients are leveraging the
technology to perform various tasks including medication management,
measuring, transferring, and accessing patient records etc., in a wide range
of healthcare environments.
