Provided herein are medical sensors and related methods for measuring a real-time personal metric. The medical device may comprise an electronic device having a sensor comprising an accelerometer anda bidirectional wireless communication system electronically connected to the electronic device for sending an output signal from the sensor to an external device and receiving commands from an external controller to the electronic device.

The invention discloses a wireless medical sensor network user identity authentication protocol based on biological characteristic information. The identity authentication protocol mainly comprises four stages: a user registration stage, a user login stage, an authentication and key negotiation stage and a password changing stage. The standard for measuring the advantages and disadvantages of theuser identity authentication protocol is based on whether various security attacks can be resisted or not, the calculation complexity and the communication overhead. Finally, by utilizing the advantages that the human body biological characteristic information is unique, easy to carry, difficult to copy and the like, the human body biological characteristic information is combined with the identity authentication system of the wireless medical sensor network, so that the identity authentication system can be accepted only under the condition that the two pieces of biological characteristic information are matched. According to the identity authentication method, the human body biological characteristic information, the intelligent card and the password are used as three factors of identityauthentication, security is high, reliability is high, and the identity authentication method is suitable for being applied to a wireless medical sensor network.
