Turning the Body Into a Wire

When the human body is the communications channel, it’s hard to hack the data

In 2007, U.S. vice president Dick Cheney ordered his doctors to disable all wireless signals to and from his Internet-connected pacemaker. Cheney later said that the decision was motivated by his desire to prevent terrorists from being able to hack his pacemaker and use it to lethally shock his heart. Cheney’s command to his doctors might seem to some to be overly cautious, but wirelessly connected medical devices have a history of exploitable vulnerabilities. At a series of conferences in 2011 and 2012, for example, New Zealand hacker Barnaby Jack showed that connected medical devices could be remotely attacked. Jack used a high-gain antenna to capture the unencrypted electromagnetic signals transmitted by an insulin pump on a mannequin 90 meters away. He then used those signals to hack into the pump and adjust the level of insulin the pump delivered. He also hacked a pacemaker and made it deliver deadly electric shocks.

Eight years after those demonstrations, connected medical devices remain vulnerable. In June 2020, for example, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recalled a model of connected insulin pumps. The pumps were transmitting sensitive information without encryption, making the data accessible to anyone nearby who might want to listen in.

Medical devices are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wireless devices people are putting in or on their bodies. The list includes wireless earbuds, smartwatches, and virtual-reality headsets. Technologies still in development, such as smart contact lenses that display information and digital pills that transmit sensor data after being swallowed, will also be at risk.

All of these devices need to transmit data securely at low power and over a short range. That’s why researchers have started to think about them as individual components of a single human-size wireless network, referred to as a body-area network. The term “Internet of Bodies” (IoB) is also coming into use, taking a cue from the Internet of Things.

Inside the Body’s Future: How Bio-NanoThings Will Change Disease Detection

Imagine a future where tiny devices inside your body can detect diseases and send the information directly to your doctor. This is the vision behind the Internet of Bio-NanoThings (IoBNT), which connects biological cells to the internet. In this talk, we introduce PANACEA, a groundbreaking system designed to diagnose and treat infectious diseases using submillimeter bio-nanodevices. These devices, called Bio-NanoThings, can detect infection levels within the body and transmit the data to external hubs, enabling healthcare providers to monitor and respond remotely. By merging biological communication with advanced technology, PANACEA offers a responsive, real-time solution for managing diseases.
