Abstract
The integration of information and communication technologies in the field of healthcare has generated a positive transformation in the traditional way of providing patient care, optimizing medical services, and streamlining healthcare operations. Traditionally, healthcare systems have relied on radio frequency (RF) signals for data transmission. However, the conventional RF wireless network faces ever-increasing challenges, such as spectrum shortage and a congested frequency spectrum. Moreover, issues such as interference, security vulnerabilities, and potential health risks associated with prolonged exposure to RF electromagnetic radiation complicate its application in healthcare environments. To address these challenges, visible light communication (VLC) systems, which offer dual functionalities, data transmission, and illumination, have emerged as a promising complementary solution to traditional RF-based options. VLC provides secure, high-speed data communication that is immune to RF interference, making it particularly suitable for healthcare settings. This research examines the advancements in e-health systems that utilize VLC technology, considering various modulation and channel coding techniques, with a focus on evaluating the effectiveness and limitations of these techniques to determine their impact on overall performance.
