In this survey a new application paradigm life and safety for critical operations and missions using wearable Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) technology is introduced. This paradigm has a vast scope of applications, including disaster management, worker safety in harsh environments such as roadside and building workers, mobile health monitoring, ambient assisted living and many more. It is often the case that during the critical operations and the target conditions, the existing infrastructure is either absent, damaged or overcrowded. In this context, it is envisioned that WBANs will enable the quick deployment of ad-hoc/on-the-fly communication networks to help save many lives and ensuring people's safety. However, to understand the applications more deeply and their specific characteristics and requirements, this survey presents a comprehensive study on the applications scenarios, their context and specific requirements. It explores details of the key enabling standards, existing state-of-the-art research studies, and projects to understand their limitations before realizing aforementioned applications. Application-specific challenges and issues are discussed comprehensively from various perspectives and future research and development directions are highlighted as an inspiration for new innovative solutions. To conclude, this survey opens up a good opportunity for companies and research centers to investigate old but still new problems, in the realm of wearable technologies, which are increasingly evolving and getting more and more attention recently.

“…Instead of fiddling around with a cable to connect your digital camera to your computer, you could devolution pictures just by touching the PC while the camera is around your neck. And since data can devolution from one body to another [7], you could also commutation electronic business cards by shaking hands, trade music files by dancing cheek to cheek, or swap phone numbers just by kissing. If we could use the human body itself as a transmission medium, then this would be an ideal way of implementing human area networks because it would solve at a thump all the problems including low security, throughput deficiency, and exalted network setup costs.…”

At present many technologies for networking are known and are in use. These technologies connect people, objects and other networks together so as to dispense data and thus make information ready for access. In the world of computers, networking is the practice of linking two or more computing devices together for the purpose of dispensing data. In this paper, we introduce novel networking technology called RedTacton was announced by NTT labs from Japan in 2005, which makes use of human body surface as communication medium when exchanging data among people, objects and networks. The RedTacton takes a different technical viewpoint. Instead of relying on electromagnetic waves or light waves to carry data, RedTacton uses feeble electric fields on the surface of the body as a transmission medium. Electricfield communication is dissimilar from orthodox wireless or infrared communication which simply does not rely on electromagnetic or light wave to transmit data because it uses the electric field procreate on the surface of the human body. This is mainly developed to conquer an interposing of unwanted signal in intensive places has become a major issue and the better solution to this can be, a human body functioning as non-stop transmitter and receiver. The RedTacton communication is possible using any body surfaces, such as the hands, fingers, arms, feet, face, legs or toes. Red Tacton can be used in any media including water, glass, wood, shoes and clothing as well etc. The electric field/Photonics method employed by Red Tacton is preferable to conventional methods in terms of communication distance, speed, and interactivity. In this paper, I will discuss about RedTacton, and it's working states, body coupled communications, transceiver and applications of RedTacton in various fields.
