Recent developments in electronics and wireless networks have paved the path for the emergence of emergency wireless sensor networks and their subsequent widespread deployment (WSNs). WSNs have emerged as indispensable tools in a wide variety of fields, including industrial automation, infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, environmental control, and military leadership, to name a few. Recent progress in wireless sensor networks has made it possible for a wide variety of applications to be implemented in the healthcare industry. Because of the vast potential it holds, it has recently become a focus of intensive investigation. The application areas of wireless sensor networks, specifically as they pertain to the medical industry, are the primary emphasis of this research. In this work, we have attempted to explain the fundamentals of wireless sensor networks as well as the various difficulties that WSNs must overcome in order to put their plans into action. The various benefits and drawbacks of using WSNs in the healthcare sector are also covered in this article. This paper also presents a number of essential metrics, each one of which may be utilized for the purpose of doing performance evaluations of wireless sensor networks. Because of the critical nature of the problems facing healthcare today, wireless sensor networks have a tremendously bright future, and it is imperative that they be implemented as soon as possible.
