Description :
A wireless network of biomedical sensors that are installed on/in a human body senses the information signal. It is the suitable way to measure biological parameters of human body. The aim of wireless body area network, WBAN is to facilitate continuous recording and monitoring about health condition of a person and transfer it over a long-distance communication network. A sensor system is to be worn or implanted by the individuals for a long duration. This limits the size of the battery and it has made energy the most critical resource in WBAN. The parameters sensed by the individual devices are to be transferred onto a mobile phone or a tablet via wireless network. This data is then gathered, stored and then sent to the doctor for continuous monitoring of health condition. The doctor can then access the health status of patient from remote location and it helps the patient to acquire immediate treatment.
