PROJECT TITLE :

Body Sensor Networks: In the Era of Big Data and Beyond

ABSTRACT:

Body sensor networks (BSN) have emerged as a lively field of analysis to attach and operate sensors within, on or at shut proximity to the human body. BSN have unique roles in health applications, notably to support real-time decision making and therapeutic treatments. Nevertheless, challenges remain in designing BSN nodes with antennas that operate efficiently around, ingested or implanted within the human body, with new methods to method the heterogeneous and growing amount of data on-node and during a distributed system for optimized performance and power consumption. As the battery operating time and sensor size are 2 necessary factors in determining the usability of BSN nodes, ultralow power transceivers, energy-aware network protocol, knowledge compression, on-node processing, and energy-harvesting techniques are highly demanded to ultimately achieve a self-powered BSN.
