Abstract

This chapter introduces the combination of wireless body area network and mobile cloud computing in healthcare. The increased growth of low-power integrated circuits, physiological sensors and wireless communication has introduced a new generation of wireless sensor networks. Cloud computing is on high demand, whereas in case of mobile cloud computing the device is much more user friendly to manage the information. The combination of wireless body area network (WBAN) and mobile cloud computing (MCC) promises a better performance to the users immediately. It is more feasible to wire a sensor which performs the required medical tests and provides the information through devices like mobile phones and tablets. In this chapter, a theoretical study on the combination of WBAN and mobile cloud computing has been done.
