Wearable Health Monitoring Using Human Body Communication
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a wearable hub for health monitoring using HBC. The health monitoring device and system are built using Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) sensors and components that provide reliable connectivity; superior energy efficiency (more than 8X) over Bluetooth; and significant power efficiency, showing its advantage over the wireless system. This technology collects data from physiological sensors and transmits it through hubs worn on the body. In addition, data can be uploaded via hubs through human-machine interaction, i.e. Human-Internet, to an HBC capable machine.
