TechA local network of implants uses your body as the wiring

Most implants, including pacemakers and insulin pumps, operate independently. Georgia Tech researchers built a system that sends signals through body tissue rather than antennas and radio waves so implants can coordinate. They say Bluetooth and similar wireless methods are poorly suited to in-body data transfer, and activated Bluetooth components can reduce an implant’s battery life by up to 90 percent.
