The rapid growth of wireless technologies and personal area networks enables the continuous healthcare monitoring of mobile patients
using compact sensors that collect and evaluate body parameters. In this paper, the concept of the Wireless Body Area Network and WBAN
applications was discussed.
Streszczenie. Dzięki dynamicznemu rozwojowi technologii bezprzewodowych rozwija się również koncepcja zdalnego monitorowania osób z
wykorzystaniem sensorów. W przypadku zastosowania w medycynie - pozwalają one np. na pobieranie i ocenę parametrów życiowych pacjenta. W
pracy przedstawiono koncepcję i wykorzystanie bezprzewodowych sieci WBAN. (Sieci WBAN - koncepcja i zastosowanie)
Keywords: wireless body area network, sensors, applications.

Introduction
The wireless sensor networks are formed by small
electronic devices called nodes, whose function is to obtain,
convert, transmit and receive a specific signal, which is
captured by specific sensors, chosen depending on the
sensing environment. A wireless sensor network consists of
devices such as are micro-controllers, sensors and
transmitter/receiver which the integration of these form a
network with many other nodes (sensors) [8].
Wireless Body Area Network
One of the most interesting areas for the implementation
of the Wireless Sensor Network is in the medical field
because there are different challenges which are
associated with monitoring the human body. The concept of
biomedical signals focuses on the acquisition of data
common phenomena of the human body. The human body
responds to its environment. In order to monitor all of these
features the sensors on the body surface are strategically
deployed on a patient, forming a cluster that is called
Wireless Body Area Network (W
