The CodeBlue [1]system developed at Harvard is a prototype system developed to take body sensor netorks beyond lab/prototype stage and bring the system in to real clinical settings. The CodeBlue system is a combined hardware and software platform and provides protocols for device discovery and publish/subscribe multihop routing as well as a query interface tailored for medical monitoring. The CodeBlue system developed ECG, Pulse Oximeter and motion activity sensors based on th MicaZ and Telos mote platforms. The testbed system featured a 30 node network and has demonstrated scalability and robustness (with varying system parameters such as numbers of queries and data rates). CodeBlue also demonstrates robustness and reliability with mobility. The CodeBlue team are collaborating with several hospitals and medical research groups that plan to make use of the CodeBlue platform. These include Boston Medical Center, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, and Johns Hopkins University
