A Survey on Futuristic Health Care System: WBANs

Abstract

With the increasing use of wireless networks and miniaturization of electronic Devices has allowed the realization of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). It is one of the latest technologies in health care diagnosis and management. WBAN consists of various intelligent bio sensors attached on or implanted in the body like under the skin. These sensors offer promising applications in areas such as real time health monitoring, interactive gaming and consumer electronics. WBAN does not compel the patient to stay in the hospital thereby giving much physical mobility. This paper presents an overview on the various aspects of WBAN.
