“…The Physical wireless network is a mono-purpose wireless sensor network that combines different wireless networks and devices to able remote monitoring. BAN devices may be embedded in the body or may be mounted on the body or in a fixed position on the wearable technology or may be placed in mobile devices that people can carry in different situations, in clothing, pocket, hand or different bags [2]. Gateway devices are used to connect wearable devices to the Internet through the human body.…”

Abstract-During the last few years, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have emerged into many application domains, such as medicine, sport, entertainments, military, and monitoring. This emerging networking technology can be used for e-health monitoring. In this paper, we review the literature and investigate the challenges in the development architecture of WBANs. Then, we classified the challenges of WBANs that need to be addressed for their development. Moreover, we investigate the various diseases and healthcare systems and current state-ofthe-art of applications and mainly focus on the remote monitoring for elderly and chronically diseases patients. Finally, relevant research issues and future development are discussed.

As in the present era use of wireless networks is increasing day by day and the electrical devices are getting smaller; both factors expand the research area of Wireless Body Area Networks(WBAN).The devices used in WBAN can record various physiological parameters like the body temperature, the BP or to take ECG, EEG, etc. With the use of WBAN, a patient experiences a greater physical mobility. The patients need not stay longer in the hospital as WBANs are placed on the human body and often transport private data; Security is considered as an important issue. It will in turn increase the quality of patient care and the productivity of hospital staff. Field of Wireless Body Area Networks comes up as a major research area in past few years as it is beneficial in health monitoring even in remote areas and patient's care can be done in real time. However, if the security of patient's data is concerned with WBANs, design issues should be taken care of. In the present paper, a short review on various aspects of Wireless Body area Network, various implementation techniques and MAC protocols are discussed. The technique which is best suited to the user is also presented.

Objective: In this article, we describe the important aspects like major characteristics, research issues, and challenges with body area sensor networks in telemedicine systems for patient monitoring in different scenarios. Present and emerging developments in communications integrated with the developments in microelectronics and embedded system technologies will have a dramatic impact on future patient monitoring and health information delivery systems. The important challenges are bandwidth limitations, power consumption, and skin or tissue protection. Materials and Methods: This article presents a detailed survey on wireless body area networks (WBANs). Results and Conclusions: We have designed the framework for integrating body area networks on telemedicine systems. Recent trends, overall WBAN-telemedicine framework, and future research scope have also been addressed in this article.
