📄 Abstract
The wireless body area networks have contributed to the changes in healthcare sector by enabling continuous monitoring of biomedical parameters remotely on the patient body and offering real time data transmission. Upon collection of the vital signs, they are transmitted to the gateway node which then forwards them to the remote hospital medical servers. Here, these physiological data items are analyzed and necessary action is taken. Such physiological data include electrocardiograms (ECGs), blood pressure, body temperature, blood oxygen levels, respiratory rate, Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electromyogram (EMG), glucose levels, physical activity and Electrodermal Activity (EDA). In this paper, we develop a technique for securely transmitting this sensitive data from the body sensor unit (BSU) to the remote hospital medical server (HMS).
