Various wireless technologies have been used in health monitoring systems; however, it is not always clear why one technology is chosen over another and how it fits into the overall architecture of an application. This paper explores many limiting characteristics of relevant wireless technologies and attempts to provide a basis for making an appropriate selection. The paper also suggests an architecture that supports collaboration among multiple caregivers over a particular health monitoring application.
