Nowadays, many people, and not only the ones with health problems are being more health conscious. With the advent of sensor based technologies, it has become possible to create wearable wireless biometric sensor networks, known as Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) which allow people to collect their health data and send it remotely for further analysis and storage. Research has shown that the use of BSNs enables remote wireless diagnosis of various health conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel layered architecture for smart healthcare system where health community service providers, patients, doctors and hospitals have access to real time data which has been gathered using various sensory mechanisms. An experimental case study has been implemented for evaluation. Early results show benefits of this system in improving the quality of health care.
