Networks are seamlessly interconnected and information is always accessible at our fingertips. Human Area Networks (HAN) for connectivity to personal information, media and communication appliances within the much smaller sphere of ordinary daily activities the last one meter. How far is it becoming the next technology?

What is HAN

idea posted by mun jas IT consutling & network architect

Could some please explain the fundamental with this so-called HAN . I m new to the concept

Practical applications may be less

idea posted by Rahul Gedam Project Manager, Polaris Software

I'm trying to envision the application of such technology. Why not simply use Bluetooth, WiFi, EVDO, etc.. Even with low risk, people are already paranoid about cancer caused by cell phones, now you want to actually transmit through the body?

Perhaps in Hospitals or Airplanes where wifi can interfer with sensitive instruments, it would be possible to use the HAN? In fact, I could envision medical implants (Pacemaker, etc...) using the HAN to interface with medical equipment for timing changes, etc.. maybe?

It is a very interesting technology, but I don't see very many practical applications for it. It could just be short sightedness on my part.

An interesting application

Actually there is one massive application I had not thought of earlier. Any HAN device which can interpret brain activity and hormone / emotion levels and can interact with another person's HAN device in a feedback loop to their brain activity and hormone / emotion levels has tremendous application. It could be used to create an absolute police state or to enable a loving couple to get closer to each other then ever possible before, plus innumerable other applications. I think this a unique idea!

Some things to be kept in mind

idea posted by Govind Patil Project Manager, IBM
Ability to move information to where it is the most useful and sharing it among multiple applications is most important in networking

That said there are huge impediments. Others have already mentioned power. Devices need extremely low power consumption so they are able to extract power from their environment. This frees user from responsibility of managing power on a myriad of devices.

Security – it is extremely difficult to keep data “confined” once it is captured. Hardening networked devices has proven to be not just difficult but virtually impossible. Wireless is a very hostile environment.

Adoption will probably be generational. The more technology one grew up with the more accepting of adopting next step.
