Remote patient monitoring using safe and secure WBAN technology

In the recent years, we have witnessed a tremendous growth and development in the field of wireless communication technology and sensors. Resulting into opening new dimensions in various research fields. The integration of Nano scale devices with low power consumption circuits brought a new evolution in wireless networks. This blend of technologies led to the formation of a new field in WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) known as WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network). WBAN is based on small sensors designed to operate and function mainly on the human body. As we are dealing with human lives, security and privacy are major concerns as patients’ data is at the stakes. Authentication is an important factor in securing information from unauthorized usage. Now-a-days a lot of research has been done in order to improve the overall authentication mechanisms in WBAN. In this poster, we are surveying the security challenges in WBAN with a focus on the authentication phase. A list of several methods along with their schemes has been studied and recapitulated. ECG is one the most popular schemes used in WBAN, benefiting from its uniqueness. However, it comes with challenges as creating an extract trait could get complicated. ECG could be aided by the help of combining fingerprint which will result in a non-destructive method of biometric authentication compared with single ECG trait

A Review on Requirement of Wireless Sensor Network in Healthcare Applications

An assortment of uses depend on Wireless AdHoc and Sensor Networks (WASN) which has pulled in individuals from a wide number of regions demonstrating its utility extents from protection to farming, climate guaging to pre-fiasco discovery, geography to mineralogy, catastrophe alleviation frameworks to medicinal care, vehicle following to territory checking, and a considerable measure many. In the field of therapeutic sciences the uses of WASN are new however have left an incredible effect on the psyches of the two analysts and specialists. Medicinal determination and test examination like observing the patients, detecting exceptional and basic indications physically and rationally should be possible utilizing sensor systems for the therapeutic care. The potential restorative utilizations of WASN are 'Constant, nonstop patient observing', 'Home checking for interminable and elderly patients', 'Gathering of long haul databases of clinical information'. Alternate applications can be giving therapeutic supervision to individuals in remote zones and for detecting vast mischances, fires, fear based oppressor assaults and remote crucial sign checking facilitating the activity of specialists. In this paper we have attempted to make an overview of all the conceivable utilizations of WASN in the field of therapeutic Sciences
