Routing and Security Issues in U-Healthcare Mobile, Ubiquitous and Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN)

Abstract

The ratio of aging and chronic diseases is increasing day by day; therefore, the people are interested in better health management. They are interested in patient-centered methods instead of the traditional and conventional hospitalized services. The idea of UHealthcare is getting popularity. The U-Healthcare is responsible for the observations of different states of health during running, walking, and jogging. Researchers and developers are focusing on a telemedicine system composed of Mobile, Ubiquitous and Wireless Body Area Network. The U-Healthcare system is still a little bit vague and obscure, and due to the shortcomings, the complete adoption of the U-Healthcare system is not possible. So, for this purpose, we just need to take the inclusion of latest, wellsophisticated hardware, communications, interconnections, trademark computing, advanced routing and privacy to the upcoming child of U-Healthcare based on Mobile, Ubiquitous and Wireless Body Area Network. In this paper, we have critically analyzed the relevant papers on Mobile, Ubiquitous and Wireless Body Area Network specifically in terms of the routing and security issues.
