Researchers actively working in various fields (medical, academic, military, and industry).

Body area network (BAN) technology establishes a system which monitors patient health status using tiny wireless sensors devices placed in or around the human body that aids medical professionals, and the patients with easy and convenience of operation and mobility. However, this technology faces peculiar challenges in designing and implementing, such as security vital for any system, privacy concern for everybody because it holds our data and must maintain high secrecy, power failure, sensor validation versus system compatibility, data consistency, cost and many others. Moreover, the survey suggests ways to improve and maintain the dependability of WBAN.
