the problem we have to pass through some necessary points. First of all, we have
to start with theoretical basses' learning, and then to do some practical work in
order to gain knowledge and to improve the state of the art.

WSN EXMAs - The Ultimate Aim
Existing medical applications based on wireless sensor networks are still research
projects with good potential for utilization. A great number of medical scenarios
are being covered with these applications and that have opened a wide spectrum of
benefits for caregivers. They should be able to provide the necessary care whether
in emergency situations, or in some hospital environments, or in the form of smart
homes. A lot of effort needs to be done before the EXMAs' ultimate aim is reached.
In this case, the ultimate goal implies the improvement of human lives. For that end,
from this very point we can say that the future of WSNs and their medical appli-
ances looks highly promising.
