Wireless Body Area Network Analysis
In health care services the Wireless Body Area Network has gained much interest due to wide range of utility and vital role to improve human health. WBAN is useful technology having benefits in daily life not only for Healthcare but also for military training, safety, electronics purpose, and safeguarding of uniformed personnel. In our project, we are conducting comprehensive survey of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) and also introducing a Virtual Doctor Server (VDS) in existing WBAN architecture. Existing architecture of WBAN consist of wireless sensor nodes, central unit, and personal Device (PD). Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or mobile phones can be used as a PD. We propose a design concept for a Virtual Doctor Server (VDS) to support …show more content…
The analyzed patient’s parameter used to check that any kind of disease will occur or not. The patient’s data is recorded for the long period of time. The recent rapid progress in wireless communications has enabled the realization of low-cost miniaturized wireless sensor devices [2].These sensor devices, can be networked together over a wireless medium to form a wireless sensor network (WSN) for sensing, measuring and gathering information from the environment [2].
BAN is used in Healthcare sensor network application, BAN is used in healthcare for continuously monitoring of the patient in where various sensors are attached to the patient. Parameters are taken from various sensors nodes and then analysed. It is comfortable for patient to make physical movement.
Body Area Network now also called as IEEE 802.15.6 standard. BAN is a network which contains sensors nodes in close on a person’s body, which monitors continuously human body and even more intelligent node is capable to handle advanced signal processing. A Body Area Network is also defined as a standard for short range and wireless communication in the vicinity of a human body which provides real time monitoring

By using latest technologies in WBAN the small sized and intelligent sensors are used in the biomedical system to improve the performance of the health care system. The sensors are connected to the small sized hardware and the data from the sensors is used to transfer. Also the data is sent to the medical server and it is analyzed over there and stored. Wireless connection used in the WBAN applications is cost efficient and easier. The patient can move anywhere and there is no need to be present in hospital or no need to stay under observation. By using such systems can improve the medical health care and minimizes the cost. A wireless body area network (WBAN) is a radio frequency (RF) based wireless networking technology that interconnects tiny nodes with sensor or actuator capabilities in, on, or around a human body [2]. As describe in the transmissions of these nodes cover a short range of about 2

    In this article, a system was designed and built in order to receive, store, process, analyze, and display heart electrical signal wirelessly on cell phone. This device has small size, light weight, low power consumption, and appropriate price. The doctor or the nurse is able to receive and observe heart signal on their own cell phone only by installing the proper program and loading the related file. This device is also capable to calculate patient’s consumption calories and store the value; and also has a data base consisting of medical and drug information for increasing the awareness of patient about heart diseases. The obtained results from recording and displaying heart signal on cell phone by designed system has an…
