Abstract :
Instead of being measured face to face, e-healthcare is a new promising technology that facilitates monitoring patients health related parameter continuously and in real time, with the help of wireless sensor network. Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) reduces heavy dependence on specialized healthcare staff and thus a desirable technique for countries that lack sufficient medical infrastructure and trained staff. However, layout and design of wireless body sensor network without security can influence the system. In this paper we review existing WBSNs and introducing a new approach for Proxy Patient Server (PPS) and a Proxy doctor Server (PDS) to improve e-healthcare services.
