VERSION 1.1 5 of 95 DATE 2010-08-30 D5-1 Communication standards within BAN and PAN REACTION (FP7 248590) 1 Executive summary The aim of this document is to present a brief analysis, in the context of the REACTION project, of the communication standards and technologies within Body Area Networks (BAN) and Personal Area Networks (PAN). This deliverable is an outcome of the task T5.1 ―Network architecture and analysis‖, as described in the description of work. The REACTION project aims to develop a technological platform and pilot applications to improve long term diabetes management in inpatient and outpatient environments. Features of the technology include continuous blood glucose monitoring, monitoring of significant events, monitoring and predicting risks and/or related disease indicators, decision on therapy and treatments,
