Highlights
A Wireless body area networks (WBANs) is realized through the integration of different nodes relying on different communication technologies to allow interconnection under skin, over skin, when embedded in clothes and in portable devices, to provide both managed and autonomous applications [31–36]
WBANs are not confined to the human body
Networks and cloud technology [37] extend the number of applications a WBAN can offer and support
Summary
Biomedical Research Networking Centre in Mental Health (CIBERSAM), 28029 Madrid, Spain Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are a fascinating research field offering wearable and implantable sensor technology [1–13], communications and platforms [14–21] that are revolutionizing healthcare, quality of life and interactions between physicians and patients. A WBAN is realized through the integration of different nodes (sensors and actuators) relying on different communication technologies (wired, wireless and human body communication [22–30]) to allow interconnection under skin, over skin, when embedded in clothes and in portable devices, to provide both managed and autonomous applications [31–36].
