        abstract = {Internet of Things (IOT) is a rising technology which has the capability to greatly influence the internet and communication technologies. Several applications of the IOT are possible and one of the most promising domains where it can be applied is the healthcare domain. Some of the IOT related technologies such as body sensor networks, advanced healthcare systems, cloud based platform for wireless transfer of data, storage and display of clinical data etc.  are the results of wide utilization of technology into the field of medicines. A body sensor network scenario will be created using various body sensor nodes with Low power and Lossy networks (RPL) routing protocol. RPL is a distance vector routing protocol implemented using Contiki operating system. The free open source simulation environment called Contiki OS helps in analyzing the performance parameters of Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN). The Cooja simulator in Contiki OS simulates the network scenario, provides the means and tools to observe network behavior in different environments on different platforms. This paper presents work done on analysis of the RPL protocol of the Wireless Sensor Networks. Performance parameters like light, temperature and blood glucose levels of body are measured using sensor nodes and also the position of neighboring nodes are obtained. These parameters are measured in case of mobility as well. Then by using Dijkstra’s algorithm, the shortest path to reach the record maintainer is measured. The proposed work focuses on the analysis of protocol standards used to monitor patient information in health care management system.},
