Abstract
Technological advancement in the field of health care has emerged with wireless connections, integrated circuits, and physiological sensing. They allow cost-effective, low power, miniature devices for sensing, and monitoring patient’s health. Sensors and actuators are incorporated to form a new technology named wireless body area network (WBAN). The implementation will lead to the foundation of the tele-medicine system where computer-aided physical convalescence and subsequent peregrine monitored. The system provides real-time guidance to the user and generates an alert for the medical facility if there is a sharp change in the user’s daily data. The data will also be included in a portal which would be accessible to medical practitioners for early diagnosis and better treatment of the users. To make this technology omnipresent and affordable, some issues need to resolve. This paper provides a survey of WBAN with its architecture and issues related to it.
