The main objective of this paper is to assess the feasibility of an ad-hoc wireless network system for use within a hospital. The proposed system would operate as follows: Every bed within a hospital would be transformed into an eBed. These eBeds would monitor and record a patient{\textquoteright}s details and vitals. In addition every doctor on the ward would possess a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)/laptop that would function as an eChart. These eCharts would be capable of wirelessly connecting to any eBed on the eWard, thereby allowing a doctor to view manipulate and save a patient{\textquoteright}s vitals, medical details and history.
