In Wearable Well-Being project PUHVI, HipGuard system for patients recovering from hip surgery was developed. Novel wireless sensors having 3-axis acceleration and 3-axis magnetic sensors are used to measure patient’s hip and leg position and rotation. Furthermore, capacitive insole sensors are used to measure the force between foot and a shoe. This paper concentrates on how these sensors can b...

Problem statement: The Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks (WBASNs) is a wireless network used for communication among sensor nodes operating on or inside the human body in order to monitor vital body parameters and movements. This study surveys the state-of-the-art on Wireless Body Area Networks, discussing the major components of research in this area including physiological sensing and prepro...

In recent year, the increasing number of wearable sensors on human can serve for many purposes like emergency care, health care remote monitoring, personal entertainment and communication etc. The healthcare application is used for 24 hours constant monitoring without disturbing day to day activities. The WBAN enables the medical applications to be developed using electronic devices and sensors...

Wireless Body Area Network(WBAN) is an emerging trend in ubiquitous society and very prolific for Human being, which consists of low power wireless biosensors, seamlessly placed on or implanted in human body in order to provide an adaptable and smart healthcare system. Positioning of a WBAN user in his/her critical condition is an important issue in WBAN. For this purpose we have canvassed diff...

Wireless body-area networks (WBANs) have revolutionized the way mobile and wearable computers communicate with their users and I/O devices. We investigate an energy-efficient computing model, called wireless device driver, for low-duty peripherals, sensors and other I/O devices employed in a WBAN to communicate with a more powerful central device. We present an extensive comparative study of tw...

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is a prominent technology for resolving health-care concerns and providing high-speed continuous monitoring real-time help. Human communication (HBC) an IEEE 802.15.6 physical layer standard short-range communications that not reliant on radio frequency (RF). Most WBAN applications can benefit from the HBC's low-latency low-power architectural features. In this...
