Description :
This paper presents the survey/review on various aspects of WBAN technologies that are being used in healthcare applications. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is the network of sensors worn on the body, used to describe a network of devices connected to wireless communication system. In particular, we have inspected monitoring and sensing, system architectures and applications of Wireless Body Area Network for healthcare system. We conclude by discussions on open research issues, their potential solutions and future trends useful for applications in healthcare system. WBAN opens up a whole new field of sensor networking and intelligent technology for healthcare applications but the problem lies in varying specifications and operating platforms.
Keywords: Wireless body, area network, body sensors, healthcare, WBAN survey.
