Adding strength to these domains, e-healthcare and tele-medicine industries have started booming with the advent of technology. This has reduced the burden on small hospitals with limited infrastructures. With the growth of IOT and e-healthcare came Wireless body Area Network. Wireless Body area network with it brought implantable sensors, surface mounted sensors and held sensors.
