| dc.description.abstract | In recent years, wearable devices have witnessed remarkable advancements, offering
numerous possibilities for healthcare monitoring, human-computer interaction, and per sonalized applications. Intra-Body Communication (IBC) has emerged as a promising
communication technique for wearable devices, enabling seamless and secure data trans mission within the human body. This review paper presents an in-depth analysis of
IBC using galvanic coupling, a prominent method for establishing reliable and efficient
communication channels between wearable devices and the human body. The primary
objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles,
applications, and technologies of IBC utilizing galvanic coupling. Firstly, we present an
overview of IBC, emphasizing its advantages, such as low power consumption, electro magnetic interference immunity and miniaturization potential. Next, the fundamental
concepts and working principles of galvanic coupling are discussed, including the use
of electrodes, modulation schemes, and signal processing techniques. The paper further
explores the wide range of applications for IBC using galvanic coupling. Furthermore, we
discuss recent advancements in IBC technology, including novel electrode designs, signal
processing algorithms and integration with other wireless communication technologies.
By exploring its principles, applications, challenges and prospects, this review aims to
advance this exciting field, facilitating the development of more efficient and reliable
wearable devices for diverse applications in healthcare and beyond. | en_US |
