This study presents a survey of the current issues, application areas, findings, and performance challenges in wireless body area networks (WBAN). The survey discusses selected areas in WBAN signal processing, network reliability, spectrum management, security, and WBAN integration with other technologies for highly efficient future healthcare applications. The foundation of the study bases on the recent growing advances in microelectronic technology and commercialization, which ease device availability, miniaturization, and communication. The survey considers a systemic review conducted using reports, standard documents, and peer-reviewed articles. Based on the comprehensive review, we find WBANs faces several operational, standardization, and security issues, affecting performance and maintenance of user safety and privacy. We envision the increasing dependency of future healthcare on WBAN for medical and non-medical applications due to internet connectivity advances. In this view, despite the WBAN advantages in remote health monitoring, further studies need to be conducted for performance optimization. Therefore we finalize our study by proposing various current and future research directions and open issues in WBAN’s performance enhancement.

“…In addition, increasing the awareness of citizens about their own health state as a result of the use of sensors allows them to take a more proactive attitude, favoring self-care and promoting healthier habits and lifestyles. BSNs are thus contributing towards a paradigm shift from a curative and reactive medicine, to a more preventive, proactive and personalized medicine [62][63][64][73][74][75].…”

Non-oncologic chronic pain is a common high-morbidity impairment worldwide and acknowledged as a condition with significant incidence on quality of life. Pain intensity is largely perceived as a subjective experience, what makes challenging its objective measurement. However, the physiological traces of pain make possible its correlation with vital signs, such as heart rate variability, skin conductance, electromyogram, etc., or health performance metrics derived from daily activity monitoring or facial expressions, which can be acquired with diverse sensor technologies and multisensory approaches. As the assessment and management of pain are essential issues for a wide range of clinical disorders and treatments, this paper reviews different sensor-based approaches applied to the objective evaluation of non-oncological chronic pain. The space of available technologies and resources aimed at pain assessment represent a diversified set of alternatives that can be exploited to address the multidimensional nature of pain.

Foldable All‐Textile Cavity‐Backed Slot Antennas for Personal UWB Localization

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

An all‐textile multimoded cavity‐backed slot antenna has been designed and fabricated for body‐worn impulse radio ultra‐wideband (IR‐UWB) operation in the 3,744–4,742.4 MHz frequency band, thereby covering Channels 2 and 3 of the IEEE 802.15.4a standard. Its light weight, mechanical flexibility, and small footprint of 35 mm × 56 mm facilitate integration into textile for radio communication equipment for first aid responders, personal locator beacons, and equipment for localization and medical monitoring of children or the elderly. The antenna features a stable radiation pattern and reflection coefficient in diverse operating conditions such as in free space, when subject to diverse bending radii and when deployed on the torso or upper right arm of a test person. The high isolation toward the wearer's body originates from the antenna's hemispherical radiation pattern with a −3 dB beamwidth of 120∘ and a front‐to‐back ratio higher than 11 dB over the entire band. Moreover, the antenna exhibits a measured maximum gain higher than 6.3 dBi and a radiation efficiency over 75%. In addition, orientation‐specific pulse distortion introduced by the antenna element is analyzed by means of the System Fidelity Factor (SFF). The SFF of the communication link between two instances of this antenna is higher than 94% for all directions within the antenna's −3 dB beamwidth. This easily wearable and deployable antenna is suitable to support IR‐UWB localization with an accuracy in the order of 5 cm.
