Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) refer to a network of intelligent sensor nodes that are capable of monitoring physical and environmental conditions and can be deployed anywhere and anytime. The technological advancement in the integration of low-power electronic devices in the area of sensing, networking, and processing is rapidly increasing thus it pervasively changes the trends in healthcare systems. Efficient utilization of this emerging technology simplifies the monitoring and treatment of patients and enables high-quality, reliable, and emergent medical services. This study presents a review of WSNs capable of uplifting the design of u-Healthcare Systems enabling remote and continuous monitoring and thus providing immediate and effective medical services for patients.
