Integrating Neutrosophic Theory for Improved Decision-Making in Wireless Body Area Networks: Enhancing Accuracy and Efficiency in Health Monitoring

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) play a pivotal role in modern healthcare by enabling continuous monitoring of physiological data through sensors placed on or around the human body. Despite their significant benefits, WBANs face challenges such as data uncertainty, complex decision-making processes, and dynamic network conditions. These challenges can lead to inaccuracies and inefficiencies in health monitoring and diagnostics. The paper's main aim is to incorporate neutrosophic theory into Wireless Body Area Networks to provide enhancements in decision-making. In modern healthcare, the use of WBANs for monitoring physiological data by sensors, which are attached to or around the human body, can be continuous. Despite huge advantages, the main challenges that WBANs face are the uncertainties in data, complex decision-making processes, and dynamic network conditions, making health monitoring and diagnostics inaccurate and inefficient. In this paper, authors propose a robust framework to map sensor data into the neutrosophic domain and apply neutrosophic logic for enhanced accuracy and reliability of decision-making. In this paper, a Neutrosophic Decision-Making Algorithm is proposed, and its performance is compared with other decision-making techniques in terms of accuracy, response time, energy efficiency, and reliability. Experimental results show major improvements of around 95.3% in accuracy and a reduction of up to 25% in response time and energy consumption. Results underline the potential of neutrosophic theory for revolutionizing decision-making processes within WBANs to ensure more reliable and efficient health monitoring. This approach enables not only operational life but also improves patient outcome, avoiding a wrong diagnosis, during long-term health monitoring applications using WBAN devices.
