WBSNs can detect small changes in vital signs(e. g., heart rate and blood-oxygen levels) that are not obvious in a one-off visit to a doctor. Further, they address the issues associated with so-called "white coat syndrome" – skewed physiological and cognitive tests due to the stress and anxiety associated with a clinical visit. Measurements can be made unobtrusively over an extended period in a supportive home environment that more accurately reflect the true values for a given parameter.

Video produced in 1985 by Mobius Media Corporation, Rexdale, Ontario. This short drama is about the emotional abuse and neglect of the elderly. Locked in her room day after day, a woman who lives with her son and his family whiles away her time watching television. Except for an occasional visit from her granddaughter, she is virtually ignored. The daughter-in-law resents having to put aside her career plans to take care of her husband's mother and wants to place her in a nursing home. The granddaughter, upset about growing domestic conflict and the treatment her grandmother is receiving, implores hers parents to get professional counselling. A discussion-starter on the problem of abuse of the elderly.
