In this talk, we discuss challenges in the design of networking protocols, especially protocols in physical layer (PHY), medium access control (MAC) layer, and network layer, which we face to realize diverse medical applications of wireless networks. We investigate the key requirements of medical applications and potential enabling technologies in PHY/MAC/network layer protocols. As a concrete application, we introduce real-time vital information monitoring of athletes and people playing sports, which can enhance training efficiency and also prevent injury and disease during sports activities. We present technical challenges that should be solved in order to realize real-time gathering of various sensing data from a large number of densely-located nodes with coordinated mobility. Some preliminary results on sensing and communication aspects are presented and discussed.
