Smart Health Care System Using Wireless Body Area Network

Abstract

As is aware, there is a rapid progress in health care technology, day by day. With the advancement in technology, newer and newer diagnostic and therapeutic systems are being developed, for better health care. Ubiquitous systems are very effective and useful, these days, particularly for maintaining the health, anywhere, anytime, for any one. Wireless sensor networking (WSN) technology is applied easily for health care in various harsh environments. This technology is very useful to monitor, in particular, the health of old age patients, living in isolated areas like hills. Medical abnormalities are sensed and transmitted with sensors to main city hospital. After proper analysis by the doctor, appropriate advice/precaution is telemeter back to the patient before shifting to a hospital. Examples of some diseases are Strokes are more serious to be dealt with. Cancer nanotechnology and high intensity focal ultrasound system for the treatment of deep seated brain tumors .The advanced health care systems are thus very effective and useful for better health care, in a reliable manner, at low cost.
