Abstract: Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is an emerging field of networking with the miniaturization of sensors, increase in Bandwidth (BW) of channels and high speed internetwork of connectivity, WBAN is gaining importance. Any biological stimulus from a human body is converted to an electrical signal to be standardized and is forwarded to the internetwork, an internetwork is a huge network of networks which consists of thousands or even millions of nodes and links. This work considers the realisation of a human body implanted with biomedical sensors, operating wireless protocols of variable frequency, and measuring more than one physiological parameter of the body. Various nodes that are linked together to form a network of biomedical or other sensors placed at the nodes make up a wireless body area network. The implementation and introduction of the intra-body network were covered in our earlier publication, "Realization of Wireless Body Area Network utilising GNS3 tool for Health Monitoring," which has the DOI 10.17148/IJARCCE.2018.7459. Army personnel who are located in remote locations need continuous monitoring of their health and the packets need to be sent to the base station. Each base station needs to be connected to the headquarters (HQ). Also the information needs to be authenticated and encrypted. Any leak in the information or any intrusion will lead to advantage for the enemy. In the project paper we concentrate on building a network, authenticating the network and encrypting the same, we make use of various routing protocols to find the best path and forecasting path between the sender and the receiver. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) are preferred. We also incorporate 2-way Authentication for traffic. This setup enables healthcare providers to aggregate data from multiple patients, enhancing clinical decision-making and supporting collaborative care models. For instance, healthcare professionals can analyze aggregated data for research purposes, such as understanding trends in chronic disease prevalence.
