BodyNet: Your Body Is the Wire
A body-communication chip and set of modules that send data through skin and tissue instead of through the air.
Field notes
The site describes a body-area communication system in which electrode pads couple signals into skin and tissue, allowing sensors on one person to exchange data without antennas or the crowded 2.4 GHz band. Its proposed silicon combines a RISC-V processor, memory, analog sensing front end, converter, and selectable data rates, with I²C, SPI, UART, and 22 configurable pins. The page states that the chip has been fabricated in TSMC 65 nm and tested on real hardware, while hardware access appears to be handled through modules, demos, or quote requests.
