In this talk, I will explore the fundamentals of radio communication around human body to lead to the evolution of EQS-HBC and show recent advancements in the field which has a strong promise to become the future of Body Area Network (BAN), with applications in the fields of HCI, Medical Device Communication and Neuroscience. I will also highlight how physical security can be leveraged to make the IoB node resilient against EM vulnerabilities and how combination of Edge-Analytics and HBC can lead to an efficient IoB.
