From BAN to AmI-BAN: micro and nano technologies in future Body Area Networks [PDF]
, 2006 At the University of Twente we have been researching mobile healthcare applications since 1999. Since 2002 the University of Twente and partners have been developing health Body Area Networks (BANs) and a BAN service platform. We define a BAN as a network of communicating devices worn on, around or in the body which provides mobile services to the user.

A context aware wireless body area network (BAN) [PDF]
Proceedings of the 3d International ICST Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare, 2009 In monitoring a patient's real-time vital signs through Body Area Networks (BAN), rich data sources are communicated to medical practitioners. The benefit of BANs may be negated if medical practitioners are overloaded with streams of BAN data. It is essential that data is delivered in a timely context aware manner.
