“…And to optimize the path for route packets through the network, the expected transmission count and the remaining energy of nodes are used in the proposed objective function. Meharouech et al designed an IoMT-based Epidemic control architecture and then proposed a location-aided routing protocol which contains the considerations of QoS, mobility of users and energy efficiency [69].…”

Recently, wearable devices have got increasing popularity in wide applications in medical and disaster rescue efforts to ensure the health and safety of users, which facilitates the development of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Due to the posture alteration and mobility of users, the topology of the IoMT changes frequently, which increases the difficulty for resource allocation and routing strategy. In this paper, we respectively probe into the health monitoring architectures of the IoMT for both individual and group, allowing the monitored users to move at will. Furtherly, combined with the diversity of disaster rescuers, we build an IoMT-based disaster rescuer health monitoring system with searchers, doctors and porters. For each application, we point out the enabling technologies and demonstrate the existing researches. It is worth noting that the complexity of environment and high mobility of rescuers increase the probability of route breakage. Thus, this paper creatively addresses effective routing repair solutions for route breakage in IoMT-based disaster rescuer health monitoring system by exploiting the mobility of rescuers. Finally, we forecast three most likely directions in the field of IoMTs. INDEX TERMS IoMT, health monitoring, individual, group, disaster rescuer.

“…Also, for remote or disabled people, it will be possible to alert his neighbors and broadcast a call for help in an urgent situation. In [48], we proposed a BBN-based epidemic control framework, in mass gathering areas, that differentiates WBANs traffic and ensures real-time quarantine strategies in response to epidemic outbreaks in contaminated areas.…”

Thanks to their arising abilities to influence the human lifestyle, along with reducing the healthcare systems’ cost, wireless body area networks (WBANs) still form a strongly growing research field. Recent advances focus on the opportunities of coexistence and communication between a group of WBANs, that will forward the sensing data, using persons as network relays, until reaching a remote analysis server or cloud servers via the Internet, forming thus a body-to-body network (BBN). Such new-style networks support a range of innovative and promising applications, including ubiquitous healthcare (U-health), interactive games, and military, to cite a few. In this paper, we first present the evolution of the single WBAN concept to the cooperative network of multiple WBANs, giving rise to the BBN concept. A synopsis of the WBAN and BBN respective standards and applications is given, and the emerging BBN challenges are highlighted. Then, we present and discuss the existing WBAN proposals, especially the candidate WBAN protocols that could be adapted and used in BBNs, focusing on four intrinsically related axes of great importance for BBN design: energy efficiency, mobility prediction, quality of service (QoS) and security. Further BBN open issues are also investigated, namely, the wireless propagation between humans carrying wearable devices, the interference, storage and privacy issues as well as the heterogeneity of BBN devices and traffic.
