Industrialized societies all see their healthcare costs outpace GDP growth. To revert this situation, several public and private initiatives were taken in the last years to make healthcare more cost efficient. The Continua Health Alliance and the Wireless-Life Science Alliance mobilize over 200 companies investigating opportunities to use wireless technologies to advance the delivery of healthcare. The body sensor network is a key building block in most eHealth scenarios. But what is it exactly and why is it taking so long before we see any wider proliferation of this technology? In this talk, we will zoom in on emerging applications of body sensor networks and address the challenges to overcome. This leads us to identification of technology trends in human interfaces, low power technology and energy harvesting.
