Remote Healthcare System
Xuemin (Sherman) Shen, Univ. Of waterloo, Canada
Healthcare is in expanding demands due to doctor shortages, crowded waiting rooms, long delays, and rising costs. On the other hand, there is an increasing number of personal communication devices around the human body such as cell phone, PDA, etc. Also, there are new sensing and monitoring devices for in-body (data, image) and on-body uses (video, audio, data). Those devices can form a self-organized sensor and ad hoc network, called wireless body area network (WBAN). Remote Healthcare System (RHS) based on WBAN has attracted significant attention recently since it not only cares for onsite patients, but also extends these benefits to anyone demanding healthcare beyond medical facilities. In addition, it can act as a dedicated virtual doctor and nurse, providing healthcare anywhere, around-the-clock. In other words, RHS based on WBAN can make the patient ‘doctor-free’ with enhanced health care services. This talk will focus on the design of WBAN in terms of MAC, security and privacy preservation protocols, Remote Healthcare System and its operation and business model.
