Abstract:

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a system which used to streamline low power gadgets and to work in or outside of human body to help assortment of therapeutic applications. WBAN contains at least one Body Sensor Units (BSU), one Body Control Unit (BCU), and long range remote gadgets. BAN also called as body sensor network (BSN) set up to make restorative and health applications more progressed. WBAN is confined not only to restorative applications but can be utilized in non-therapeutic applications, for example, sports applications and other. For medicinal applications it assumes a key part to help medicinal experts and patients for the checking of therapeutic circumstance through intelligent body sensor network (IBAN). There are numerous WBAN sensors that can measures diverse kind of physical parameters, for example, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electromyography (EMG), body temperature and diabetes of human body. In this paper, there will be an exhaustive study on WBAN applications and the part of these applications used in real life. Through these uses of WBAN, sensors can foresee unpredictable conduct of body parameters and enable patients or sensor gadgets to ready medicinal masters before any severe condition.
