Wireless ad hoc networks find their application in various military and healthcare scenarios. The reliability of the data is of prime importance in such applications. These networks use routing protocols such as AODV or DSR to find route to destination. These protocols consider the hop count as a measure of the shortest path between two nodes. The shortest may not be reliable path. The paper proposes modification to routing procedure of AODV to find efficient route between the sensor at the patient device and sensor at the doctor device by considering the end to end delay and packet delivery ratio as the path selection metric. The performance of the network was compared based on end to end delay, PDR and throughput which showed significant improvement over the traditional routing technique.
