Georgia Institute of Technology
Using the human body to transmit signals, Georgia Tech engineers have created a wireless networking system that allows tiny implantable sensors and actuators to communicate with each other as well as wearable devices.
Their system means devices can work together like never before, sensing in one part of the body and triggering a therapeutic response elsewhere - perhaps releasing medicine or stimulating a nerve.
Described Sept. 24 in the journal Science, their communication method is expandable to include multiple interconnected devices across the body, even deep inside the stomach.
