基于体域网的健康监测系统研究

dvancement in current wireless communication technologies, such as wearable and implantable biological sensors, and development in embedded computing up to date are enabling design, development and implementation of Wireless Body Area Networks. This new type of networks is paving the way for the deployment of innovative health monitoring system applications. A WBAN that can monitor various vital signs and provide real-time feedback to the user and medical personnel is created by strategically placing a number of tiny wireless sensors on the human body. In this paper, a general conception of (W)BANs is presented on the threshold and differences between the BANs and WSNs technologies are compared. Then a BAN-based health monitoring system model is proposed before the systematic architecture and functionality of each of the tiers are presented in details. Finally, a deep survey is conducted on the hardware and software system of (W)BANs.
