“…In [22], authors have evaluated the performance of WOC based WBAN system for medical requirements such as data rate, power consumption and flexibility, and it is shown that WOC has the ability to provide a alternative to RF based WBAN systems particularly in scenarios where there are RF interference concerns. In [23], a continuous vital signs monitoring system (VSMS) in hospital is proposed. Blood pressure, heartbeat, and temperature are monitored and forwarded to observation room using WSN where node architecture is based on multiple routers that are used to provide path for sensor nodes to transmit data or receive data from the observation room [24].…”

“…Blood pressure, heartbeat, and temperature are monitored and forwarded to observation room using WSN where node architecture is based on multiple routers that are used to provide path for sensor nodes to transmit data or receive data from the observation room [24]. Energy efficiency, which is an important requirement of sensing nodes, is achieved by selection of the optimal routes in WSN through genetic algorithm (GA) [23]. A detailed discussion on reliable communication and security challenges in WBANs is provided in [25]- [27].…”

Wireless body area network (WBAN) being a sub-domain of wireless sensor network (WSN) is a new emerging technology for healthcare applications. A WBAN consists of low-power tiny wireless nodes placed on or around the human body that continuously observe vital health signs of a patient. These sensors are capable of sending information of physiological parameters taken from human body to other devices for diagnosis procedures and prescription. WBAN provides ubiquitous healthcare services and enables greater mobility without restricting human normal activities, as the medical personnel can observe the patient health conditions based on the data received through the wireless network. This research work provides a WBAN based healthcare monitoring system that can provide the electrocardiogram (ECG), heartbeat, and human body temperature information. The wireless transmission of the received data from human body is performed by using Zigbee IEEE802.15.4 communication standard. The physiological data will be communicated to remote medical server where data is stored and analyzed. In case any disease is diagnosed, medical personnel can provide immediate assistance to the patients.
