Abstract

Wireless body-centric telemedicine systems have gained considerable attention in the past decade because of continued miniaturization of electronic devices and technological advancements in wireless communications. These systems have potential applications in medical therapy and diagnosis, health monitoring, disease, obesity and overweight management. Recent advances in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology and the overall miniaturization of their associated hardware are leading to several potential applications in the medical industry. This paper addresses the path loss performance and the packet error rate of the flexible antenna designs. These have been studied at different environmental conditions and in the presence of the human body.
