This paper presents a review of the remote sensing technique, capabilities of sensors for healthcare, several studies of applications of remote sensing. The sensor technologies and data processing techniques have achieved much progress. Varieties of high precision sensors have been become available for multipurpose application. Remote sensing is considered a primary means of acquiring spatial data. Such sensors, when combined with data processing techniques, can make a huge impact on healthcare technologies. Sensors will change the site of health care. This emerging field of technology is making significant impact on the society as well as the research community. A wearable health monitoring system is to allow people to lead independent and active lives. We should put effort into future planning, not once, but continuously. As the technology advances, the outcomes are also increased.
