Body area network

Body area network

A body area network (BAN) is a network of devices or sensors that are wirelessly connected to a central unit worn on the body. The sensors are placed at appropriate locations on the human body to collect data such as ECG, EEG, body temperature, etc. The data is processed at a centralized gateway communicated using Bluetooth. BANs help to continuously monitor the human body.From: Advances in Mobile Computing and Communications [2019], Applications of IoT Lab Kit in Educational Sector [2019], Medical Big Data and Internet of Medical Things [2018]

The BAN (Body Area Network) helps to continuously monitor the human body. The sensors for blood pressure, pulse oximetry, heartbeat and pedometer are integrated in the body to continuously measure health, as shown in Figure 3.5, and the measured data is sent to a mobile device or to a cloud server.

IoT Lab kit can be applied to solve the problems of the Agricultural sector, Defense sector, Health sector, Automobile sector, smart cities, energy sector, etc. [6]. Keeping that in mind, C-DAC Bengaluru has developed some real time solutions using IoT Lab kit. Body area Network (BANs) is one of the examples where various categories of sensors such as ECG (Electrocardiogram), EEG (Electroencephalogram), body temperature, etc are placed at the appropriate place on the human body to collect the data and process the information at a centralized gateway communicated using Bluetooth.
