Key technologies and new challenges on body area networks

Abstract

As the rapid development of sensing,low-power integrated circuit and wireless communication techniques,body area network becomes a new technology to monitor human health,which provides a new solution for information medical treatment.The key technologies of body area network was firstly introduced,including energy consumption,data transmission,security and privacy and human health data processing.Finally,a series of new challenges in body area network systems was proposed.
