Abstract: Advances in wireless communication technologies, such as wearable and
implantable biosensors, along with recent developments in the embedded computing area are enabling
the design, development, and implementation of body area networks (BANs). This class of networks is
paving the way for the deployment of innovative healthcare monitoring applications with lower cost
and higher quality healthcare services, and more safety for patients. These benefits and
impacts on the facilities of human society have fuelled increasing public interests and have attracted
large support and investment from government, industrial and academic researchers. This talk is to
introduce some recent advances as well as technical challenges in the research of BANs deployed with
wireless communications technologies for interactive and intelligent healthcare monitoring
applications.
