May 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0366 -00 -0006 Scope of Proposed Standard (PAR 07 -0575) This project will define a standard for short range, wireless communication in the vicinity of, or inside, a human body (but not limited to humans). It will potentially use existing ISM bands as well as frequency bands approved by national medical and/or regulatory authorities. Support for Qo. S, extremely low power, and data rates up to 10 Mbps is required while simultaneously complying with strict non -interference guidelines where needed. This standard will consider effects on portable antennas due to the presence of a person (varying with male, female, skinny, heavy, etc. ), radiation pattern shaping to minimize SAR* into the body, and changes in characteristics as a result of the user motions. *SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) measured in (W/kg) = (J/kg/s). SAR is regulated, with limits for local exposure (Head) of: in US: 1. 6 W/kg in 1 gram and in EU: 2 W/kg in 10 gram. This limits the TX power in US < 1. 6 m. W and in EU < 20 m. W.

May 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0366 -00 -0006 Purpose of Proposed Standard (PAR 07 -0575) The purpose of the proposed standard it to provide an international standard for a short range (ie about human body range), low power and highly reliable wireless communication for use in close proximity to, or inside, a human body. Data rates, typically up to 10 Mbps, will be offered to satisfy an evolutionary set of entertainment and healthcare services. Current PANs do not meet the medical (proximity to human tissue) and relevant communication regulations for some application environments. They also do not support the combination of reliability (Qo. S), low power, data rate and noninterference required to broadly address the breadth of body area network applications. Submission Slide 10 Arthur Astrin

May 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0366 -00 -0006 Need for the Project (PAR 07 -0575) There is a need for a standard optimized for ultra low power devices and operation on, in or around the human body to serve a variety of applications including medical and personal entertainment. Examples of the applications served by the proposed standard are: EEG, ECG, EMG, vital signals monitoring (temperature (wearable thermometer), respiratory, wearable heart rate monitor, wearable pulse oximeter, wearable blood pressure monitor, oxygen, p. H value , wearable glucose sensor, implanted glucose sensor, cardiac arrhythmia), wireless capsule endoscope (gastrointestinal), wireless capsule for drug delivery, deep brain stimulator, cortical stimulator (visual neuro-stimulator, audio neuro stimulator, Parkinson’s disease, etc…), remote control of medical devices such as pacemaker, actuators, insulin pump, hearing aid (wearable and implanted), retina implants, disability assistance, such as muscle tension sensing and stimulation, wearable weighing scale, fall detection, aiding sport training. This will include body-centric solutions for future wearable computers. In a similar vein, the same technology can provide effective solutions for personal entertainment as well. The existence of a body area network standard will provide opportunities to expand these product features, better healthcare and well being for the users. It will therefore result in economic opportunity for technology component suppliers and equipment manufacturers. Submission Slide 11 Arthur Astrin
