Abstract: Demands of smart health monitoring have been made possible through the integration of various emerging technologies. This paper introduces the idea of remote smart health monitoring utilising three-tiered network architecture focused on IoT-WBAN, coupled with the scenario of real-time implementation. The tier-I encompasses multiple physiological parameters sensing in a network by several sensor nodes, together with its timely transmission to the coordinator node. Tier-II incorporates the base station concept, and tier-III incorporates cloud connectivity to include remote smart health monitoring and consultancy framework. Developed network sensor nodes have been deployed in remote healthcare centres to measure patients' physiological parameters and the measured parameters can be accessed in primary healthcare centres. The repository of data, authentication of users and professional along with remote feedback from specialists sitting in distant areas facilitates global system acceptance. Apart from these, different issues are resolved during packet transmission to attain maximum efficiency and secure data communication.

Keywords: IoT-WBAN-based network architecture; network deployment; performance analysis.
