Title of the Seminar:

Analysis of Energy Consumption of Healthcare WBANs based on IEEE 802.15.6

Presenter:

Mrs. Rezheen R. Hussein (ECE Department)

Objectives or Summary:

A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a short-range network that implements low-power sensors that can be embedded in or attached to the human body.

A WBAN offers many promising new applications in the area of remote health monitoring, home/health care, medicine, multimedia, sports and many other, all of which make advantage of the unconstrained freedom of movement a WBAN offers. In the medical field, patient can be equipped with a wireless body area network consisting of sensors that constantly measure specific biological functions, such as temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, etc. Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSNs) promote continuous and low-cost health monitoring for a better healthcare system. Sensors connected to a human body are normally battery powered devices with brief lifetimes. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.15.6 standard is the typical choice for low power ingestion and reliable short-range communication for Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSNs). The effects are demonstrated using the Omnet++ simulator and its Castalia extension for WBANs.
