Abstract
AbstractWireless body area network (WBAN) is growing enormously with the technical development of the Internet of things (IOT). WBAN is one of the types in which sensors are located on the body of the patient. The increasing use of wireless networks and the constant miniaturization of electrical invasive/noninvasive devices have empowered the development of wireless body area networks (WBANs). A WBAN provides a continuous health monitoring of a patient without any constraint on his/her normal daily life activities. Many technologies have proved their efficiency in supporting WBAN applications, such as remote monitoring, biofeedback, and assisted living by responding to their specific quality of service (QoS) requirements. Due to numerous available technologies, selecting the appropriate technology for a medical application is being a challenging task. In this paper, the different medical applications are presented. The most common technologies used in WBANs are highlighted. Finally, a matching between each application and the corresponding suitable technology is studied.KeywordsWBANIOTCluster headNature-inspired algorithm
