Body-based sensor networks (BBSN) involve small wearable sensors that monitor aspects of human health. They work by collecting data from various sensors attached to the body and transmitting it wirelessly to central monitoring devices. Key applications of BBSNs include real-time detection of medical conditions like heart attacks using sensors that monitor electrocardiograms, temperature, and other vital signs. This can enable early diagnosis and treatment, reducing healthcare costs and deaths from conditions that currently go undetected. Future BBSNs are expected to allow for more proactive healthcare management and improved quality of life by facilitating continuous health monitoring.
