Intra-Body Communication in which the human body is used as a signal transmission medium is a new approach which enables wireless communication without transmitting radio waves through the air. This approach is driven by the vision of a cable-free biomedical monitoring system. With this new idea of transmitting data through the human body, various attempts have been made to model the human body as transmission medium through which wireless transmission is achieved. Such a new wireless data communication technology will offer substantially increased freedom for long-term risk patients. On body sensors in the form of intelligent band-aids monitor the human vital functions and transfer data through the human body to a central monitoring unit. This recorded data will be transferred wireless through the body within the Body Area Network (BAN) sensor nodes, which is enabled by the Intra-Body Communication capability of every sensor. The single node which acts as the central monitoring node is connected by a traditional wireless link to the remote hospital monitoring infrastructure, where the data will be displayed or stored in the patient’s record. This electronic data transfer through the human body has been proposed by research and industry as a promising technology for ultra low power Wireless Body Area Networks.Keywords

In order to protect intellectual property rights we can apply information hiding techniques in various applications such as broadcast monitoring, tracking, content authentication etc. In recent years various lossless data hiding techniques have been proposed for images. In this research paper, we focus on the water marking technology with respect to medical information, security for the role of Health Care Systems. The objective of this proposed approach is to give high Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) value for the image and to reduce the noise. This method also highlighting in the telemedicine principle and there will be no segmentation. Only retrieval of information’s without decomposing the image and the PSNR.We involve ourselves in simulating lossless data hiding algorithm for medical images which can embed more data other than the other data hiding schemes. In this research work, we embed the patient data’s especially the Region of Interest (ROI) part and recover the original image. Hence The distant based diagnosis can be done and not going to embed the affected part of the image.In this method the wavelet transform (Integer Wavelet) helps in the embedding and thereby we keep the PSNR value high for the image and resolution can be improved.
