A Review on WMSN (Wireless Medical Sensor Networks) for Health Monitoring Systems

Abstract

Wireless Medical Sensor (WMSN) networks have become a great technology to allow for the best kind of applications. Recent developments at WMSN have helped to create a comprehensive health monitoring concept in both home and hospital care settings. Current technological advances in sensors, integrated dynamic circuits, and wireless connectivity have allowed the event of smaller, heavier, less expensive, and clever body sensors. These modules are able to hear, process, and communicate with one or more important signals. In addition, they will be used on local wireless networks (WPANs) or wireless nerve networks (WBSNs) to monitor health. Many studies are being conducted and/or ongoing to develop flexible, reliable, secure, realistic, and effective WBSNs for health applications. The importance of wireless nerve networks in health surveillance is constantly evolving, due to the growing need for safety and security in cities. The rapid development of wireless technology has significantly aided the advancement of monitoring systems that have been developed through the combination of wireless sensors. The wireless health monitoring introduces emerging innovations with significant advantages when compare to conventional communication networks, which has the advantages of lowering the cost of installation and maintenance while increasing the effectiveness of the health monitoring system in the field of medicine.
