8. doc.: IEEE 802.15-08-0535-00-0006 Submission Japanese Medical ICT consortium liaison IEEE802.15 TG6 requests liaison with the Medical ICT Consortium herein called “the Party”. Specifically, IEEE802.15 TG6 seeks to officially establish a link with the Party and to share information towards the development of medical BAN standards. The IEEE802.15 TG6 agrees to provide the Party with regular status updates and to share working documents for information. The Party is requested to do likewise. The dissemination by one party of the documents received from the other party shall be strictly limited to the members of the Party and members of IEEE802.15 TG6, and solely for the purpose of technical activities relating to the party's work program.

Support of Medical Body Area Network Service proposal Encourage the Commission to move expeditiously towards an NPRM, to make the next generation of wireless medical devices a reality Moved: David Davenport Second: Ryuji Kohno Passed: Unanimously July 2008 Arthur Astrin (Astrin Radio)Slide 9

11. doc.: IEEE 802.15-08-0535-00-0006 Submission 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 10Mbps, 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 (QoS), low power, data rate and noninterference required to broadly address the breadth of body area network applications.

12. doc.: IEEE 802.15-08-0535-00-0006 Submission 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, pH 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. July 2008 Arthur AstrinSlide 12
