Smart Body Sensor Object Networking

Dr. Bhumip Khasnabish

Wearable and implantable sensors for health, welfare, and augmented reality are rapidly becoming utility devices. Making these devices smart and capable of networking and internetworking opens up a whole new world of privacy-invading Internet innovations in the increasingly mobile, connected and analytics-driven society.

Handheld device and machine-to-machine communication driven any-area and any-technology networking will change humanity and society forever. Smartness can be incorporated in the Body Sensor Objects (BSOs) by embedding (a) virtualization, (b) predictive analytics, and (c) proactive computing and communications capabilities to augment real-time audio, visual and other sensed information.

In this talk, Dr. Bhumip Khasnabish introduces Smart Body Sensor Objects (SBSOs) including their networking and internetworking. A few use cases including the relevant privacy and protocol requirements are discussed. General usage and deployment etiquette along with the relevant regulatory implications will be also pointed out. Further details are available in the September 2014 issue of the ZTE Communications Magazine
