TITLE: Advances in Body Area Networks
ABSTRACT: Advances in wireless communication technologies, such as wearable and implantable biosensors, along with recent developments in the embedded computing area are enabling the design, development, and implementation of body area networks (BANs). This class of networks is paving the way for the deployment of innovative healthcare monitoring applications with lower cost and higher quality healthcare services, and more safety for patients. These benefits and impacts on the facilities of human society have fuelled increasing public interests and have attracted large support and investment from government, industrial and academic researchers. This talk is to introduce some recent advances as well as technical challenges in the research of BANs deployed with wireless communications technologies for interactive and intelligent healthcare monitoring applications.
