Abstract

An aging population indicates the quality of health services in both the developed and under-developing countries. Aging gives several challenges for the whole world population because senior people lose their ability to take care of themselves due to chronic diseases, physical or mental disabilities. The effect of these diseases mostly happen in remote areas due to the lack of medical help. To provide medical assistance within the range, health care monitoring applications are designed. Wireless Body Sensor Network and the Internet of Things can develop health care monitoring. The coupling of the medical sensors with the wireless sensor network gives the opportunity of real-time system designing for monitoring physical activities and conditions of the patient. Based on this, various healthcare applications are designed. This paper presented the review of these available health care monitoring systems, comparison of the available systems, and multiple challenges for developing the healthcare systems.
