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 ...

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

This 'wireless body sensor network' allows devices to transmit data with 1,000 times stronger signal than conventional technologies, meaning the battery life of all devices is dramatically improved.

(Nanowerk News) Over the past decade, a major trend in electronics has been the development of sensors, displays and smart devices which are seamlessly integrated onto the human body. Most of these ...

Healthcare providers and aeronautics industry association members this month urged the Federal Communications Commission to quickly approve their plan for setting aside bandwidth for so-called mobile ...

Hosted on the reputable MIT campus, the IEEE Body Sensor Networks Conference 2015 brought a diverse group of military and corporate entities along with academic researchers and physicians together in ...

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.
