Internet of Things and Body area network-an integrated future

Abstract

Modern technological advancement in sensors technology, miniaturization of devices and wireless networking facilitated the design and proliferation of wireless sensor networks by making it capable to monitor independently and controlling the ambience. One of the most important applications of sensor networks is for human health monitoring using minuscule wireless sensors, placed strategically on the human body, constitute a wireless network over the human body, termed as wireless body area network (WBAN) capable of administering various crucial implications and provides feedback on real-time basis to the user and supervising medical personnel. The Internet of Things (IoT) can be measured as the futuristic appraisal of the internet that realizes machine-to-machine learning and communication. As a result, IoT offers connectivity for everyone and everything. These two networks in integration provides connectivity between everything and anything. This paper is a study on integrated IoT and WBAN.
