Body Sensor Network Architectures in Healthcare Internet-of-Things (HIoT): A Survey

Sensor networks are currently one of the most promising technologies for human health. It is widely used for healthcare management, particularly for patients and the elderly, in conjunction with the Body Sensor Network (BSN) in Healthcare Internet-of-Things (HIoT). There are numerous pre-existing architectures that present their methodology for BSN architecture in HIoT, with each one based on different parameters such as: energy efficiency, node failure management, decision/feedback, data security, interoperability, data management, data filtration, and more. This paper is based on an examination of various pre-proposed architectures and methodologies that are based on these parameters. The authors first discuss the significance, features, applications, and classification of BSN in HIoT before presenting a comparative analysis of pre-existing BSN architectures in HIoT.
