This paper deals with a wireless pervasive communication system to support advanced healthcare applications. The proposed system is based on an ad hoe interaction of mobile body sensor networks with independent wireless sensor networks already deployed within the environments in order to allow a continuous and context aware health monitoring for patients along their daily life scenarios with an unprecedented precision and flexibility of sensing. After an accurate protocol characterization, simulation results are provided, underlining remarkable performance with respect to existing solutions, for different mobility models and node density values.
