Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are revolutionizing the healthcare industry. These networks use wireless sensors to collect and analyze health data. This innovative technology offers numerous benefits for increasing efficiency and reducing costs in healthcare. Using Wireless sensor networks, doctors and nurses can receive patient's biological profile data in real time. In this paper, we propose a smart healthcare system based on advanced Wireless sensor networks. This smart system targets the residents' lives to benefit from remote healthcare with continuous monitoring, and greatly improve the conditions of healthcare and medical care, reduce treatment costs, and help prevent diseases. We have currently investigated the objectives, benefits, status, and existing challenges in this paper.This smart system targets the residents' lives to benefit from remote healthcare with continuous monitoring, and greatly improve the conditions of healthcare and medical care, reduce treatment costs, and help prevent diseases. We have currently investigated the objectives, benefits, status, and existing challenges in this paper.
