Patch Sensor and Wireless Body Area Network for Disease Detection in Human Body: A Comprehensive Survey

Abstract

Abstract: This research paper highlights the advancements and applications of Patch Sensor and WBAN, presenting a comprehensive overview of their potential to revolutionise patient care and health management. Fitness wearables that track the personal health status have become very popular in the past years. Sensor industry wants to integrate technological advances into products for the consumer market. Sensors can be embedded in smart clothing to collect physiological data in an unobtrusive way. The integration of patch sensors with Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) technology has emerged as a transformative approach in healthcare and medical monitoring. Patch sensors are thin, flexible devices that adhere to the skin, capable of collecting vital physiological data, such as heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate, and motion, with exceptional accuracy and non-invasiveness. When combined with WBAN, which facilitates seamless communication between wearable sensors and a central monitoring system, real-time health data can be efficiently transmitted, analysed, and acted upon. The integration of Patch Sensor and WBAN has unlocked numerous applications, including continuous remote patient monitoring, early disease detection, and personalised healthcare. Its deployment in chronic disease management allows healthcare professionals to access patients' data remotely, enabling timely interventions and reducing hospital readmissions. Moreover, athletes and fitness enthusiasts can benefit from performance optimization, injury prevention, and recovery tracking through this technology.
