Abstract
Modern world advances in sensors miniaturization and wireless networking which enables exploiting wireless sensor networking to monitor and control the environment. Human health monitoring is promising applications of sensor networks in a healthcare environment. Sensor system was worn by the human that creates wireless body area network to monitor and provide synchronized response to the patients for medical contextual information received by sensors. Though, challenging tasks are encountered by researchers to address habitually conflicting necessities for size, time to operate, correctness of data, reliability and time to store that data and provide responses accordingly. This paper encompasses the structural design of hardware as well as software in a wireless sensor network system for monitoring health issues. The paper outlines few healthcare services, innovations latest trends those monitor patients in the health care systems and propose some of the other future trends where they might be helpful for future research to be used in handheld.
Highlights
In this modern world, population ratio is increasing day by day, which would reach 600 million by 2020 [1] and health diseases are increases
“A mobile patient monitoring system is proposed and integrates existing personal digital assistant (PDA) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology” as stated in 2003 [4] and illustrates about wireless PDA model, which is enhanced suitable for patient transportation and mobility
It is noticed that WBAN [8] security as well as its protocol issues is under research
Summary
Population ratio is increasing day by day, which would reach 600 million by 2020 [1] and health diseases are increases. In this way, Health care costs have been reduced by providing more skilled physicians, reduced hospital stays as well as skill level and regularity home-care professional’s visit and promoting health education [5]. Wireless communication medium delivers the medical diagnosis and patient consultations. In this regard, healthcare system is becoming cheaper and smarter which manages and cares for patients who are suffering from different diseases, such as heart syndrome [2] and long standing monitoring is proceeding rather than periodic assessments for constant persistent diseases. A wearable healthcare system requires several technologies for implementation, where user’s physiological signals are measured by a physiological signal measurement technology and sensor network provides a WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) as well as healthcare systems for critical patients
