Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of designing and simulating wearable antennas for wireless body area networks (WBANs) and remote healthcare monitoring. It covers key design considerations, simulation methodologies, and experimental techniques. The discussion includes challenges such as antenna miniaturization, human body effects, and balancing performance with comfort and wearability. Advances in computational electromagnetics and prototyping techniques are highlighted, aiding accurate simulation and practical realization of antenna designs. Applications in healthcare, like real-time patient monitoring, implantable devices, and telemedical systems, are explored. Future trends include the use of advanced materials, intelligent reconfigurable antennas, and antenna arrays for enhanced performance and adaptability in dynamic healthcare environments.
