Wireless Networks in Telemedicine
The society is always experiencing improvements in communication technology, and the consequent application of the technology in different areas of keen importance to the society is always improving as well. Wireless networks have been of special significance to the medical field particularly due to the extent of the need for communication between different healthcare professionals (Xiao, Takahashi, Liu, Dheng, & Zhang, 2011).
