A Wireless sensor network can be defined as a network of devices especially that can sense and communicate the information gathered from a monitored field through wireless links. The acquired data is forwarded through multiple nodes, and with a gateway, the data is connected to other networks. WSN is a wireless network that consists of base stations and numbers of nodes, here nodes refers to the sensors. These networks are used to monitor physical or environmental conditions like sound, pressure, temperature and collectively pass data through the network to the main location. The WSN is incorporated into the wearable devices for various applications using various protocols the connect each node of the network. This paper describes the technology of implementing a WSN in a wearable device and the challenges imposed in working on the network.
