ABSTRACT


increasing use of wireless networks and the constant miniaturization of electrical
devices has empowered the development of Wireless Body Area Networks
(WBANs). In these networks various sensors are attached on clothing or on the
body or even implanted under the skin. The wireless nature of the network and the
wide variety of sensors offer numerous new, practical and innovative applications
to improve health care and the Quality of Life. The sensors of a WBAN measure
for example the heartbeat, the body temperature or record a prolonged electrocardiogram.
Using a WBAN the patient experiences a greater physical mobility and
is no longer compelled to stay in the hospital. As WBANs are placed on the human
body and often transport private data, security is also considered. required to
monitor their condition. This improves in quality of patient care and the efciency
of hospital administration capabilities.
