Significant growth of internet applications in recent years has raised a lot of challenges to networks. One of the important applications is smart and connected health (SCH), which utilizes sensing, communication networks and artificial intelligent (AI) techniques to offer healthcare services to the users. In SCH applications, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) consisting of a group of Lightweight and wearable devices designed for use within the proximity of the human body, is a key infrastructure. In this short paper, we discussed the possibility of exploring AI techniques for WBANs to improve network performance and enhance health services. In addition, we present the literature review of AI driven networks for SCH, its related challenges and future directions.

Abstract
Significant growth of internet applications in recent years has raised a lot of challenges to networks. One of the important applications is smart and connected health (SCH), which utilizes sensing, communication networks and artificial intelligent (AI) techniques to offer healthcare services to the users. In SCH applications, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) consisting of a group of Lightweight and wearable devices designed for use within the proximity of the human body, is a key infrastructure. In this short paper, we discussed the possibility of exploring AI techniques for WBANs to improve network performance and enhance health services. In addition, we present the literature review of AI driven networks for SCH, its related challenges and future directions.
