Abstract
One of the most promising approaches in building wearable health monitoring systems utilizes emerging wireless body area network shortly called as wireless body area network. A wireless body area network consists of multiple sensor nodes, each node is capable of sampling, processing, and communicating one or more vital signs which includes heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, activity or environmental parameters which includes location, temperature, humidity, light. Typically these sensors are placed strategically on the human body as tiny patches or hidden in user's clothes allowing ubiquitous health monitoring in their native environment for extended periods of time. It offers the freedom of mobility and enhances the quality of life for the patient. Wearable systems for health monitoring come in a number of forms and serve a variety of applications. Available systems range from those serving personal fitness and wellness management to those serving to provide remote monitoring or diagnostic of cardiovascular problems. A number of research programs are pursuing development of health monitoring systems as well.
