Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) refers to a group of small intelligent electronic devices placed on the human body to monitor its vital signals. the efficiency of network performance in health care applications is one of the most important prerequisites for designing an effective surveillance system. However, none of the previous studies have succeeded in proposing an effective scheme that could cover the requirements for effective network performance or the development of the WBAN system capable of sending and receiving vital patient data efficiently. The aim of this paper is to enhance the performance of the network in WBAN. In addition, to verify the transfer of patient data from sensors on the body to receivers with the least value of possible packet loss, a solution is developed that can reduce the value of packet loss, end to end delay and increase the value of throughput, relying on confirmation and matching data between the sender and receiver devices. A new scheme known as the Identification Key Scheme (IKS) is proposed based on the newly available 402-405 MHz Medical Implant Communication Service (MICS). The analysis of the network performance was implemented in real WBAN dataset and used the Multi-Parameter Intelligent Monitoring for Intensive Care (MIMIC) database. MIMIC database included the data recorded from 90 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. In this study, OMNET++ was used as the network simulation tool to design and evaluate the proposed scheme. The results showed that IKS was able to reduce number of packet loss and end to end delay with increased throughput. This is an indicator of the ability of IKS in providing efficient network performance between devices in the WBAN application.

This paper presents an Automated Telemedicine and diagnosis system (ATDS), is an expert system that is used for diagnosing many ailments such as malaria and others. and prescription of drugs. ATDS is made up of knowledge database. The end user makes use of it to determine if they are suffering from one ailment or the by entering the ailment symptoms. Once the system receives the information from the user, an instant drug prescription and diagnosis is made. ATDS is user-friendly. However, ATDS was not developed to replace the real doctors but to assist patient waiting for human doctors that are few and to make the diagnosing and prescribing of drugs faster and more accurate. ATDS is implemented in PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor). Hospitals and other medical clinics should be readily accessible by everyone when needed as one of the many limitations of health care establishment is distance. ATDS when compared with old systems like MYCIN is more efficient in the different aspects. It solved the problem of incomplete base. ATDS proves efficiency more than another medical expert system by giving instant and correct ailment diagnosis and drug prescription.
