Abstract: The growing use of wireless networks and the continuous miniaturization of intrusive / semi-invasive electrical equipment have allowed Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) to expand.A WBAN offers a client with underlying health surveillance with no restrictions on a person's daily routine activities.Currently, there has been a growing interest in wireless body area networks as it allows for actual-time and constant tracking in different fields like telehealth, culture, sports, and weapons training, particularly advantages for diagnosis and treatment of chronic illnesses.Wireless Body Area Network is known as a type of wireless extremelyshort-range wireless technology.Several innovations have demonstrated its effectiveness in promoting WBAN programs, like remote access, biofeedback, and dialysis by fulfilling its particular needs for quality of service.Choosing the latest technology for a healthcare application is a difficult task because of the various tools available. The paper gives a comprehensive overview on the developments of Wireless Body Area Network, its challenges, architecture followed by its application in various domains.
