Body Area Networks: Advancing Health Monitoring and Personalized Healthcare Systems
Main Article Content
Abstract
Advancements in Body Area Networks (BANs) now provide medical staff with the opportunity for constant observation of physiological data while actively reshaping individualized healthcare systems. This paper performs an extensive evaluation of BANs through examination of system architectures and essential technologies along with medical implementations and predicted system developments. The present article assesses the implementation of existing wireless protocols along with sensor devices and energy extraction mechanisms that power BANs. The research investigates BAN'S outcomes in nurse remote patient monitoring as well as chronic disease management and their benefits in elderly care and preventive healthcare services. This research examines the obstacles of security, privacy, energy efficiency and interoperability which must be solved to establish broad BAN adoption. The combination of BANs with artificial intelligence as well as edge computing and the Internet of Medical Things opens doors for better personalized healthcare systems. Research investigation of these aspects provides understanding about BANs' ability to improve clinical success while minimizing healthcare expenditures alongside elevating patient life quality.
