Can We Make The Body Area Network A Reality For Consumer Technology? (Wearable Europe 2018)

Transmitting data around the body, between sensor nodes, through processing infrastructure and on to the internet is not a new concept. However, the User Experience people can expect is far from perfect. Will we reach a point where modular, body worn technology could converge with the demanding expectations of disillusioned health and wellbeing consumers?
