The development of wireless communication technologies and sensors has started the development of a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). The wireless nature of the network and various sensors provides a variety of new, intelligent and innovative applications to enhance health compliance and replace health care applications. In the past few years, some studies have focused on the establishment of systematic design of health compliance to enhance the technical requirements specifically designed for WBAN. However, as part of the communications media, WBAN faces a variety of security issues such as information loss, authentication, and access control. This article reviews the key aspects of WBAN in many applications. We have provided the WBAN infrastructure to provide solutions for on-demand, emergency and normal traffic. We further have discussed WBAN's in-vivo antenna design and low-power MAC protocol. In addition, we briefly have introduced some WBAN applications by examples.
