Abstract
Body Area Networks (BANs) facilitate a fine grained monitoring of human physical parameters. In current projects, BANs are often seen as single autonomous systems. By allowing BAN-to-BAN communication, information can be piggybacked to other BANs and forwarded to a central server automatically. Besides monitoring of patients, this technology is applicable in many other sectors as well. In this paper we introduce MarathonNet's pacemate as the central device of a BAN that supports BAN-BAN and BAN-Backend communication and serves as the BAN-User interface. We present results of our first prototypes and practical experiences on internetworking of 60 mobile BANs during a running competition.
