of the transmitting and receiving radios, which is typical for the above mentioned
scenarios for biomedical applications.
Conclusion
We presented a survey of current research and available results on UWB and mmWave
technologies for healthcare applications. UWB has a long story as wireless technol-
ogy for seamless and non-invasive healthcare services, which also led to the reference
standards for WBANs. mmWave radio represents the basic technology for future ac-
cess and mobile (5G) communications. We proposed some interesting scenarios to
show that it is a valuable candidate for all future healthcare systems that may require a
very large bandwidth, such as MRI real-time remote diagnostic. UWB provides also
additional features like radar for imaging and localization capabilities. We sketched
possible scenarios of applications of these additional features. Finally, we provided
insights about the VISION project, concerning a healthcare scenario for cognitive
applications for impaired children.
