Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks for Wearable Health Monitoring: Technology Trends and Future Research Opportunities

Today, there is an emerging interest in Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks (WBASNs) for the real-time monitoring of patients and early chronic disease detection. In this context, this paper presents a synopsis survey of healthcare monitoring via the IEEE 802.15.6 (UWB) protocol. We intend to propose a survey of the current issues of wearable physiological monitoring signals and devices, application areas, and reliability in WBASNs. To help elderly and disabled people, it would be beneficial to use a wireless transportable gadget at home to gather useful data in traditional human activities. This will manage regular hospital and emergency department appointments and will monitor crucial physiological signals real-time. This paper will also present a study on new wireless technologies intended for body area sensor networks, including signal processing problems, spectral allocation, security, and future research challenges of WBASNs.
