The main objective of the paper is to characterize the concept of intra-body communication that allows electric signal to flow through human body. Various experiments are performed in order to verify how it is influenced under different conditions. The methodology used for this purpose is galvanic coupling method. The model is been implemented on ARM processor to measure heart rate and temperature of the human body. Measurements are carried out analyzing various IBC parameters such as size of electrodes, distance between transmitter and receiver, different environment and grounding. Practical conclusions are obtained thus analyzing the IBC performance. The system gives better performance as the data is transmitted in the form of packets. This provides secure and enhanced communication as compared to the existing systems.
