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 ...

The study by WPI's Center for Wireless Information Network Studies, a leader in research on wireless data networks, aims to spur the development of new standards to speed the adoption of this new ...

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 ...

You’ve probably read about the future where we reengineer our bodies or seen it hyperbolized in film: people awash in bionic contrivances and bleeding-edge actuators, a melange of subcutaneous ...

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.

Kristofer Pister of the Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center (SAC) chaired a panel at the MEMS Executive Congress and said he thinks 60 GHz is the way to go for body area networks ...

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.
