Health Monitoring Using Wearable Sensor and Cloud Computing

Obesity and overweight has been a great cause of death in 21(st) Century. In era of innovation in technology, people are becoming less active to complete their daily work and more use of Automation techniques are used in different scenarios. With the help of technology we try to cope up with obesity problem and make people healthier. We use WBAN and cloud computing to address this problem. It uses small electronic devices that are incorporated with human to supervise health related problems such blood pressure, sugar level, obesity etc. Wearable computing help in health monitoring of patient. WBANs promise unobtrusive ambulatory health monitoring for a long period of time and provide real-time updates of the patient's status to the physician. In this paper we integrate Wireless Sensor Network with the Internet of Things. We have implemented a CoAP protocol which is used in order to provide web service based WBAN prototype.
