Abstract

In today's world, people are most concerned about their health and safe living especially bed ridden people needing extensive care and assistance. A strict routine has to be followed by the patients after operation. Wearable sensors play an important role in monitoring physiological signals for the patient at home. With wireless technology, these physiological parameters can be monitored continuously. Also, the medical staffs and doctors are given immediate warning and causality services can be provided as early as possible. This chapter addresses the importance of wireless technology in healthcare sector.
