Fat client and thin client concepts were compared and contrasted. Fat clients have more local processing power and storage but are more expensive to maintain, while thin clients rely more on central servers and have lower costs but less flexibility. A wireless sensor network was proposed for a hospital to remotely monitor things like HVAC, elevators, lighting and security, which could improve efficiency and patient care, but privacy and reliability issues would need to be addressed.

Discuss the design of a wireless sensor network for a hospital,
what could be connected, the advantages and potential
problems.
