: Research and Markets: Body Area Networks and Advances in Short-range Wireless Communications: Applications, Markets and Technologies
Dublin, Feb 17, 2011 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e1b5d7/body_area_networks) has announced the addition of the "Body Area Networks and Advances in Short-range Wireless Communications: Applications, Markets and Technologies" report to their offering.
This report is continuing project by the publisher, which addresses an increasing role of Wireless ICT (WICT) in the developing of health care and wellness to reduce the cost and improve the quality of services.
Ambient Intelligence is a vision where environment becomes smart, friendly, context-aware and responsive to any type of human needs. In such a world, computing and networking technology coexist with people in a ubiquitous, friendly and pervasive way. Numerous miniature and interconnected smart devices create a new intelligence and interact with each other seamlessly. For health care, this translates into proliferation of remote monitoring and telemedicine; and the report concentrates on advances in WICT to support medical and wellness needs.
Particular, the report:
1. Provides up-to-date information on the WBAN (Wireless Body Area Networks) development. This includes the standardization process and the evolving industry marketing data.
2. Provides the up-to-date analysis of the Bluetooth technology and market with the emphasis on the medical profile.
3. Provides the up-to-date analysis of the ZigBee technology and market with the emphasis on the medical profile.
4. Provides the analysis of the Ultra Wideband technology and market and its application in telemedicine and fitness.
5. Provides the analysis of the self-powered sensors technologies and markets and their role the WBAN development.
6. Provides the analysis of WICT trends in the advancing wellness and sport activities.
7. Provides a survey of the industry vendors and their products portfolios.
The report was written for a wide audience of medical and technical staff responsible for the developing of advanced telemedicine and wellness applications that are based on wireless communications.
Target Audience:
This report provides the analysis of WBAN technologies and markets in health care and wellness applications; it concentrates on the recent developmental trends. The report is useful for service providers, IT departments of hospitals and other medical organizations, retail operators, vendors, network operators and managers, investors and end users seeking to gain a deeper understanding of new trends in the wireless communications medical applications.
For systems integrators, the report provides an analysis and assessment of competing products currently available as well as an estimation of the overall opportunities in the coming years.
