T4PW: TSCH in WBAN for Real-Time Monitoring of Pregnant Women

Self-imperative Care of Pregnancy using IoT Solutions

“…It monitors changes in blood pressure and classifies the severity of hypertension using Naïve Bayes, which helps in the decision-making of health care providers. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) for pregnant women, based on the 802.15.4e TSCH standard, are presented in [20], which provides real-time remote monitoring of pregnant women centered on the biosensors' values. The monitoring of pregnant women's stress level, sleep, and physical activities during pregnancy based on IoT is shown in [21].…”

“…In addition, some are focused only on monitoring physical activities, behaviors, and habits [18,21]. Typically, the internet is exploited for data transmission and communication, which may not be relevant for the pregnant population without internet access [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Thus, to address the health system and the limitations highlighted above, and considering the need underlined by the COVID-19 pandemic, we propose an architectural framework for home-based self-imperative care of pregnant women that facilitates IoT solutions regardless of location and internet access.…”
