The application of wireless body area network (WBAN) in health sector is crucial. It prolongs the life expectancy and improves the quality of life by enabling remote health monitoring. Despite many advantages, it may result and exacerbates various extant health issues especially in the context of mobile multimedia. Due to high data rate of mobile multimedia applications, heat generated from sensor devices is considerably high and results in thermal dissipation. The thermal impact of sensors on human body has largely been a neglected topic. The paper rigorously analyzes the specific absorption rate (SAR) impact on human body. Moreover, the paper largely contributes by comprehensively evaluating SAR impact under various circumstances and dependency factors. The analysis and evaluation show promising results that can significantly help the successful design and deployment of WBAN strategies. The paper also provides great guidance to numerous practitioners of this domain.
