Abstract

Patients with chronic diseases and the elderly will benefit greatly from a close-monitoring healthcare system. A wireless body area network (WBAN) has been widely deployed for this purpose. WBAN sensors collect vast amounts of biosignal data from a patient for long periods of time. These biosignal data need to be efficiently managed and stored for further processing and future reference. This article reviews and compares the frameworks and also evaluates the various methods used to manage WBAN data. We aim to identify the best method of managing WBAN data and present an enhanced architectural platform. It is intended to help researchers and practitioners to further study, modify, and develop quality-of-service (QoS)-based WBAN health-care systems.
