Description
Summary:The science of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) and its overwhelming potential over medical treatment and body testing has greatly improved over the years, and with the globalization phenomenon hospitals are now able to treat their patients remotely, and medical camps have proved to be much more productive than before. This paper will focus on the existing trends and literature survey, the pre-laying architecture, and the working WBAN system, along with its networking capabilities and practical applications. With the growing need for medical treatment and healthcare, WBAN has become a necessity at treating patients, then and there as required. The usage of the WBAN systems is not only limited to the healthcare field, but also for military and space training. The WBAN ideology and the networking methods can be implemented for various fields that includes distributed networking and organizational needs. This study aims to provide a detailed overview over the varying aspects, structures, and applications that the WBAN can satiate. The ability to autonomously operate and provide sensor data from various parts of the human body and transfer the data to a geographically far or remote location for real-time accessing and support, has made WBAN a lifesaver. Also, the various parts of the WBAN system can be added and removed as per the application requires greatly providing flexibility, and in-turn provide better real-world support than any other smart systems. � 2021 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science (IAES).
