Hacking of Wireless network leading to insecure
data is the main issue that needs to be attended. To achieve the
goal of data security, there is need of the Security algorithm
especially for medical applications using wireless
communication. The proposed system includes Rivest Cipher 4
(RC4) security algorithms to ensure data security. Personal
biomedical information can be relatively easy to be accessed due
to the nature of wireless or internet based communication.
Therefore there is a possibility of being abused and the personal
information may be put to a bad use. Hence, it will be necessary
to apply security technology through which only the server and
end point user can read data correctly in the healthcare system.
On the basis of a reliable scheme, the proposed work is to
design and implement this novel system using ZigBee device for
patient monitoring, which integrates temperature, pulse rate
monitoring. The result of security algorithm implementation
assures the secure network for master and slave communication.

It has been observed from the result that the security
algorithms that were necessary to secure data
transmission in a patient monitoring system. The security
algorithms that work properly in an embedded system
with limited computation capabilities and small memory
unit. Implementation of security algorithm which secures
the biomedical information for military medical services
application also.
