N2 - Personal Networks provide the technology that is needed to interconnect the various private networks of a single user (home network, office network, Personal Area Network, and others) seamlessly, at any time and in any place. This can be useful in healthcare. In case of medical emergencies, it can provide a means to enlist remote assistance from peers wherever they are in the world at that particular moment. We illustrate this concept with a case scenario and a demonstrator model for an emergency surgery situation.
