The document summarizes a technical seminar presentation on Body Area Networks (BAN). It discusses how BAN uses wireless sensors to continuously monitor physiological activities to address issues caused by sedentary lifestyles. A three-tier architecture is proposed for BAN communication consisting of intra-BAN, inter-BAN, and beyond-BAN communication. Key applications of BAN mentioned include remote health monitoring, military training, and personal information sharing. The presentation covers BAN's introduction, technologies, requirements, design, advantages, disadvantages and applications.

3. INTRODUCTION
 According to WHO, sedentary lifestyle is causing
millions of people to suffer from obesity or chromic
diseases.
 Researchers, system designers, application developers
have increased their interest in Body Area
Network(BAN).
 In BAN’s, sensors continuously monitor humans
physiological activities.
