DESCRIPTION:Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) and Medical Body Area Network (MBA
 N) technologies have become promising options for wireless medical applica
 tions. However\, increased body loss at the ISM frequencies utilized in a 
 BLE communication system and common interference sources\, including Wi-Fi
 \, IoT\, wireless power charging\, microwave-ovens\, etc. present challeng
 es for medical applications. MBAN frequencies are also quite close to the 
 ISM frequency band. In this seminar\, both BLE medical system & MBAN syste
 m analysis will be presented. System and interference testing will be disc
 ussed. User-hand effects on the system performance and Specific Absorption
  Rate (SAR) will also be examined. The seminar will include material prese
 nted on BLE & MBAN Communication Systems for Implants and Body-worn Device
 s at the FDA.\n\nLocation and Registration information can be found [HERE]
