Developments in wireless communications and electronics have made designing low-cost sensor networks possible. The sensor networks have many application areas such as health, military, home, agriculture, environmental. Because each sensor has to be low-cost, they have very limited battery and a lifetime of the network depends heavily on saving energy. One way of saving energy is by designing appropriate routing protocols. In this paper, energy consumption methods in the wireless sensor network are researched and a method proposed for saving the energy of the sensors and consumption energy in the network based on particle swarm intelligent optimization algorithm.

The growth of Information and Communications Technology has brought a significant change in the means and mechanisms of handling issues and challenges of health services. The injection of Information and Communications Technology has changed the concept of health and associated services sector by coining a new term eHealth. eHealth deals with the process of providing best class services to various nodes in the health care environment. This is possible due to linkages and inter-connectivity of various siloed works which ensure that patient, as well as stakeholders, are able to access the best class service. However, implementing eHealth through networking is challenging as there is more of ‘e’ in eHealth than is anticipated. This paper takes into consideration the ‘e’ parameters of eHealth which need to be taken into account while designing and implementing eHealth network. The paper discusses the practical implementation of several components of ‘e’. The future scope results in the inclusion of more and more of eHealth network components and accordingly draft out those ‘e’components which are applicable in the practical scenario for a well-developed eHealth network system.
