What is WPAN

Revolutionizing Healthcare Treatment With Sensor Technology
Small-scale wireless network having a limited operating range and minimal infrastructure requirements. Several devices in one area usually use a WPAN rather than connecting to each other via cables. Wireless or cable connections can be made to PAN networks. The most popular wireless connection options are Bluetooth, WiFi, IrDA, and Zigbee; the wired options include USB and FireWire.

Abstract
The traditional expert and hospital-focused approach to smart healthcare is quickly changing to a dispersed patient-focused one. Several technical advancements have aided this quick transition in healthcare. 4G and other communication standards are currently employed in the medical field for smart health services and apps. The development of intelligent healthcare services in the future depends on these technologies. A vast amount of data in various formats and sizes is anticipated to be produced by several applications due to the expansion of the healthcare sector. A specific consideration of the end-to-end delay, bandwidth, latency, and other properties is required for such vast and heterogeneous data. Future healthcare applications will demand extremely dynamic and time-sensitive systems, which will be challenging for current communication technology to meet. As a result, 5G networks are being created and tailored to address the various communication requirements of internet of things (IoT) applications related to health.
