Abstract Nowadays, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, especially wearable are commonly integrated into modern intelligent healthcare software. These devices enable medical practitioners to monitor pervasively patients’ parameters outside the clinical environment. However, ease manipulating and their data streams raises concerns regarding patient privacy trust. Distributed ledger technologies (DL...

In this paper, we focus on an integrated system of the wireless USB over the IEEE 802.15.6 wireless body area networks (WBAN) for wireless wearable computer networks based on WiMedia MAC. However, current WBAN devices cannot share wireless channel with the existing WiMedia devices, efficiently. Existing researches are not suitable for WiMedia MAC protocol based on distributed architecture, sinc...

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) also referred to as a body sensor network (BSN), is a wireless network of wearable computing devices. It has emerged as a key technology to provide real-time health monitoring of a patient and diagnose many life threatening diseases. WBAN operates in close vicinity to, on, or inside a human body and supports a variety of medical and non-medical applications. T...

Personal computers have not lived up to their name. Most machines sit on a desk and interact with users for only a small fraction of the day. Notebook computers have become smaller and faster, enabling mobility, but the same staid user paradigm persists. Typically you must stop everything you’re doing, use both hands, and give the computer your full attention. Wearable computing is poised to sh...

Wearable technology has become an important trend in consumer electronics in the past year. The miniaturization and mass production of myriad sensors have made possible the integration of sensors and output devices in wearable platforms. Despite the consumer focus of the wearable revolution some surgical applications are being developed. These fall into augmentative, assistive, and assessment f...
