Society Faces Major Health Challenges Fewer Younger People Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyle United Kingdom People Under 16 15 million 10 million People Over 65 5 million 1971 2013 2021 Source: ONS Fewer carers & lower social and health insurance income Increased prevalence and earlier onset of chronic diseases
Healthcare is changing • Healthcare infrastructure was set up to manage acute illness, today 70 to 80% of the healthcare budget is spent on chronic diseases. • Better more flexible monitoring of patients • Migration of the care from the hospital to the home
Patient Monitoring: Early Warning • BMJ on Early Warning Scores: 84% of patients had documented observations of clinical deterioration within eight hours of cardiopulmonary arrest” • RM Schein 1990: 70% of patients have respiration problems 8 hours before circulation stops • C Franklin 1994: 66% of patients show abnormal symptoms 6hrs before circulation stops • The doctor was warned in 25% of cases
Patient monitoring today • Cable management, infection control • Care areas, patient comfort and distress
Medical Body Area Networks (MBAN)a network of wireless sensors around the body • Clinical Benefits • Patient mobility and comfort • Monitoring flexibility • extending monitoring into all care areas. • Infection control • Low cost disposable monitors • Patient identification and tracking
MBAN Challenges Robust wireless links Capacity for Patient and Sensor density Co-existence with other radios and networks Days of continuous use from small light weight devices (batteries)

Future MBANs :IEEE 802.15.TG6 (MedWin) • Members: Toumaz, GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, Texas Instruments. • FCC new MBAN service 2360 to 2400MHz band • 2360-2390 MHz MBANS operations limited to health care facilities outside exclusion zones (indoor use only) • 2390-2400 MHz MBANS operations permitted anywhere (all hospitals, in-home, mobile ambulances, …)
Future MBAN Markets SaaS / Cloud Services Hospital Market Closed fixed networks Improved detection and intervention Greater flexibility and efficiencies Standardisation GP Budget changes 4G Networks Hospital to Home Integration with open and mobile networks Improved quality of life for chronic disease sufferers Pharma Quantitative proof of outcomes Personalised therapies Ambulatory Patient Research 2010/11 2012/13 2014/15 2016/17
