DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH OF THE BAN NETWORK LAYOUT FOR HUMAN HEALTH MONITORING

Abstract

This article describes the development of a real BAN (Body Area Network) network layout for human health monitoring. BAN networks can help improve life quality of people suffering from various diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and others. They are accessible to wide range of users, including people with disabilities and the elderly. They can also provide a high level of security, since they use data encryption and user authentication. These networks may be easily configured and adapted to the needs of a particular user. The article presents results of studies that show state of the human health under various conditions. Thanks to the developed BAN network layout, it is possible not only to study the condition of human health in practice, but also to use it for scientific research at universities.
