Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play an important role in medical diagnosis and patient monitoring. New wireless

sensors and medical devices continue to be developed to create safer health care environments. The rapid growth of

using such devices and technologies in medical fields has created new opportunities and applications. However,

enormous challenges still remain to be resolved in order to develop flexible, reliable, secure, and power-efficient

networks suitable for medical needs.
