Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) and sensor technologies are rapidly transforming healthcare and personal monitoring by integrating advanced sensing devices with unobtrusive communication systems.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed to allocate radiofrequency spectrum and establish service and technical rules for the operation of Medical Body Area Network (MBAN) systems.

Human body communication (HBC) and wireless body area networks (WBANs) represent emerging paradigms in the field of personalised medicine and wearable technology. These systems utilise the human body ...

Last summer, Northwestern University researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker — a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it’s no longer needed.

Engineers have taken their transient pacemaker and integrated it into a coordinated network of four soft, flexible, wireless wearable sensors and control units placed on different anatomically ...
