Abstract
Monitoring of human vital functions is enabled by wireless technologies for distributed on-body mounted monitoring sensors. Galvanic coupling provides a novel data communication between sensors with coupling electrodes attached to the human skin. The next step is an implantable communication device. This study focuses on coupling strategies for intra-body communication between implantable miniaturized transceiver pills.
