The standard for wireless communications on the human body
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) - the largest international association of specialists in the field of engineering - officially announced the IEEE 802.15.6TM-2012 standard. It contains technical requirements for wireless communications of electronic devices operating at speeds up to 10 Mbps inside the human body or in close proximity to it.
The standard is designed to prevent the negative impact of the human body on the network performance of equipment, as well as to ensure an acceptable level of security, reliability and power consumption of such devices.
In general, thanks to IEEE 802.15.6TM-2012, a new generation of implants, wearable devices and sensors can be expected.
All this has a positive impact on the development of health care. In general, medicine has recently been developing by leaps and bounds precisely thanks to technology, including from IT. In turn, the most promising application of IT is also, probably, in the field of medicine. At least there is now a huge space for innovation, offhand:
')
Of course, all such technologies and medical devices must be tested and certified. Therefore, it is important the emergence of generally accepted standards in this area. The standard for wireless communications in the human body is a necessary element of future cyberpunk medicine.
PS In the best traditions of GOSTs, access to the IEEE 802.15.6TM-2012 standard is paid ($ 5).

- sensors that monitor a person’s physical condition and transmit it to cloud hosting and / or directly to the doctor;
- automatic introduction of drugs into the human body according to the sensors (for example, the introduction of insulin according to the indications of the meter);
- data mining of information collected over the years of monitoring;
- symptom diagnosis of disease (see IBM Watson system);
- constantly wearable devices for developing good habits, as well as helping to get rid of harmful, gadgets for training muscles ;
- printing organs / prostheses on a 3D printer;
- analysis of the individual’s genome and selection / synthesis of individual drugs for a specific genome.
Of course, all such technologies and medical devices must be tested and certified. Therefore, it is important the emergence of generally accepted standards in this area. The standard for wireless communications in the human body is a necessary element of future cyberpunk medicine.
