“…This is mostly due to the fact that WBANs enable relatively cheap, reliable, and highly adaptable software for e-health since it does not have any restrictions in mobility and locality [9]. Existing of many small devices as well as with a very low energy consumption rate, these nodes can be implanted within the body of the person, as well as placed on the body or even worn as a wearable on clothing, depending on its functionality [8], [29]. These nodes are categorized in three different types: sensors, actuators, and the main node.…”

Nowadays, technology plays a vital part in our daily lives. Especially in medicine, such as consultations, examination, and operation, these processes are necessary and must be utilized accordingly. Medical checkups are required to ensure the patient’s wellbeing. However, many people suffer from severe health conditions and are not always able to leave the house for examination. They are also not aware of potential risks within their body and therefore, don’t feel the need to be examined. With the rise of new technological advantages, new solutions are being presented to tackle those issues. In the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the wireless body area network (WBAN), alongside with its features and functionalities, can be regarded as one of the potential innovations for medicine, military, sport, and entertainment. With its tiny sensors, as well as with its plethora of applications, the WBAN is an excellent choice for remote medical surveillance and treatment. Furthermore, various routing protocols can provide proper solutions, depending on the application needs. However, challenges, such as energy efficiency, and security. are being further developed to improve the needs of its demands. This review is an overview of WBAN technologies, protocols, applications and potential challenges.

“…Therefore considering the scenario of outbreak and increase of elderly people who often suffer from chronic age related ailments demanding continuous prolonged health monitoring, advanced technical solutions are required in the field of healthcare. Here, e-health monitoring can play an important role where traditional medical diagnosis can be integrated with new technologies, techniques and informatics [5][6][7]. Home hospitalization is one of the promising healthcare service which can be beneficial for the patients suffering from chronic diseases, by reducing the need to visit hospital repeatedly.…”

India's health infrastructure is under pressure since the daily COVID-19 cases have crossed the milestone of 4 Lakhs cases per day which surpass the previous years' peak. Patients with mild symptoms have been advised for home treatment since most of the hospitals are running out of bed. In this situation delivering healthcare to people has become revolutionizing due to the rapid advancement of embedded systems, communication, and informatics technologies. Integration of different health sensors, handheld devices, and internet can be a great potential for significant improvement of the quality of remote healthcare. This paper discusses the use of MySignals HW shield which is a hardware development platform for medical devices to build e-health monitoring system. Wearable health monitoring system prototype has been developed in this work. To conduct experiments, health vitals such as body temperature, ECG, oxygen saturation level, and pulse rate from 5 volunteers have been measured, collected, and stored in a cloud database using the system prototype. To evaluate the performance of the prototype, transmission delay has been recorded in both wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi) communication modes. It is observed that it takes 2.71 ms and 5.18 ms of time to collect and store the health vitals to the cloud database in wired and wireless mode respectively. Comparing the collected health vitals with the normal range of health vitals, no abnormality is found in all volunteer's health. Finally, a framework for contactless monitoring of COVID-affected patients is proposed. Contactless monitoring of health vitals can reduce the chance of community spread.
