Abstract

This paper proposes a concept of Intrabody Communication as a new wireless technology to exchange messages through human body. The concept of Personal Area Network (PAN) is also presented. In this work, we are using new electromagnetic model instead of radio wave communication for data transfer. This model is based on multi-layered ellipsoidal geometry which can be applied to any part of the body. The advantages of these technologies over other conventional technologies are also discussed. Further the real-world applications of this technology are proposed.
