“…1. The principal function of the WSMD to collect physiological parameters through a series of low-power, noninvasive, and micro-sensor nodes based on WBAN (wireless body area network) technology [32][33]. The WSMD then sends these data to the HSMS for storage and analysis using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless communication technologies [34][35].…”

Vital signs are a series of clinical measurements and important to health-related quality of life. To establish a method for self-monitoring and management of vital signs and diet, a self-monitoring method (SMM) including wireless body area network and mobile technology was proposed in this paper. The study population comprised a total of 180 participants. Differences between measurements taken using the SMM and traditional instruments were analyzed with respect to accuracy and reproducibility. Participant measurements before and after intervention were used to evaluate the validity of the SMM. There was no statistically significant difference between our SMM and traditional instruments for measuring vital signs (p>0.05). The relative standard deviation of the SMM (0.38%) indicated good repeatability. These findings suggest that the SMM had a clear effect of promoting improvement in health habits, health condition monitoring, and disease prevention (p<0.05). Statistical analysis indicated that our SMM contributed to improve monitoring of vital signs and diet, and improved the health-related quality of life among study participants to a certain degree.

“…In the literature, there are various surveys on WBANs [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, the majority of these surveys have focused on the applications [16,17], technologies [18][19][20], standards [21], and design issues [17,[22][23][24] of WBANs rather than evaluating various research efforts made towards achieving efficient MAC protocols for WBANs, which is the main objective of this survey.…”

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) have emerged as a promising technology for health monitoring due to their high utility and important role in improving human health. WBANs consist of a number of small battery-operated biomedical sensor nodes placed on the body or implanted, which are used to monitor and transmit important parameters such as blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG), and electroencephalogram (EEG). WBANs have strict requirements on energy efficiency and reliability during data collection and transmission. The most appropriate layer to address these requirements is the MAC layer. Medium access control protocols play an essential role in controlling the operation of radio transceivers and significantly affect the power consumption of the whole network. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of the most relevant and recent MAC protocols developed for WBANs. We discuss design requirements of a good MAC protocol for WBANs. We further review the different channel access mechanisms for WBANs. Then, we investigate the existing designed MAC protocols for WBANs with a focus on their features along with their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we summarize the results of this work and draw conclusions.

This article discusses the main age-related features of the Internet use by adolescents and children. Today more and more computers are connected to the Internet. At the same time, connection via high-speed channels is becoming more common, both at work and at home. More and more children get the opportunity to work on the Internet. But at the same time, the problem of ensuring the safety of children on the Internet is becoming more acute. For this, a security monitor was developed, which has many functions that allow you to use the Internet more safely and under parental control. This security monitor is written in the web programming language JavaScript and PHP, which will allow using the system on almost all modern browsers and on any computer. The article also provides screenshots of the program's operation and a flowchart with a detailed description.
