\n

A Body Area Network is a Wireless Network of wearable computing devices. With the advancement of microelectronics, communication and medical sciences, a Body Area Network, with the help of bio-signal sensors can collect relevant vital medical parameters in real-time and transfer it into a network for proactive healthcare and emergency mitigation services. In this paper, an attempt has been made to bring out the challenges for the development of a Satellite based Body Area Network. The paper discusses on the feasibility for the development of such a network, considering the available and future technologies. In this paper, the author addresses on the architecture, design, and development issues of such a novel network and come up with the applications and outcomes with possible services, which this type of network can offer both on a national and global scale. A Satellite based Body Area Network does not exists now, so the author also tries to bring out the necessary technological challenges, which may be faced for the realization of such a network and deployment of associated services.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
