Abstract

Health monitoring body area networks (BANs) have the potential to create a paradigm shift in providing personal healthcare “Johny, Anpalagan (IEEE Potentials 33(2):21-25, 2014) [1].” A BAN consists of multiple wireless body sensors attached to or implanted in the human body to continuously monitor the patient’s vital signs.
