Performance Evaluation of Wireless Health and Remote Monitoring Network Throughput Under Varying Conditions Using NetSim

Abstract

The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), organized in/out of the human body region to form Wireless enabled Health and Remote monitoring Network (WHRN), is trending on the medical platform for efficient diagnosis by the physician without the patient's physical visit. This network is framed with different biological sensors in the regional area of the human body to sense unlike biological signals promptly. Wearable WHRN, like smart watches and mobile phones, can notify people about stress, heart rate, and other physiological nods. The technology developed enhances the treatment for the patient, but the security of the information transmitted over different mediums is vulnerable. WHRN is simulated using the NetSim standard tool. Network performance metrics and their plots are analyzed using various encryption standards to provide data transmission and diagnosis security. Security is the primary concern for physiological data sensed and transmitted over different mediums. © 2024 IEEE.
