Sensor networks and systems provide smart and efficient solutions for healthcare systems. Sensor networks are vital tools to understand the health of human beings. Some of the different types of sensors are ECG patches, wearable spirometers, and hemodynamic/pressure monitoring devices. A network of connected devices is created when a person wears two or more sensors at one time, which is known as body area network. These networks can gather physiological signals through many sites, calculate vital health metrics, and transfer data on the cloud. Wearable sensors consist of a wide range of applications that help in health monitoring and fitness tracking. They play a major role in developing a connected personal healthcare system. These sensor networks and systems are also helpful in preparing disease management plans for healthcare organizations monitoring patient health. This book strives to provide a fair idea about sensor networks and systems to help develop a better understanding of their healthcare applications. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
