Abstract. Recent technological advancements in wireless low power/low range communication systems, MEMS technology and integrated circuits have enabled low-power, intelligent, and miniaturised sensor nodes strategically placed around the human body to be used in wearable wireless healthcare and wellbeing monitoring systems.
This seminar addresses the current state-of-art of WBANs based on the low power communication standards (such as IEEE 802.15.6, IEEE 802.15.4j and IEEE 802.11ba standards) which enable wearable systems to collect required data patterns for clinical translation. From these applications, we will abstract out the major challenges to realising the wearable wireless sensors systems for healthcare monitoring applications. Open issues and challenges within each area are also explored as a source of inspiration towards future developments in wearable healthcare systems. Prototype developments (activity recognition, Parkinson Disease, and stress monitoring) and practical research challenges for wearable wireless solutions will conclude this seminar.
