About the Journal

Scope and Topics

EAI Endorsed Transactions on Body Area Networks is an open-access, peer-reviewed interdisciplinary, scholarly journal that aims to advance the science, technology, and applications of body-centric sensing and communication systems. With the increasing convergence of IoT, healthcare, AI, and wearable technologies, Body Area Networks play a pivotal role in collecting, transmitting, and analyzing data from the human body and its surrounding environment.

EET-BAN provides a platform for original research, reviews, and visionary insights at the intersection of wearable and implantable systems, communication and networking, signal processing, data security and privacy, and end-user applications. The journal promotes innovation across a broad range of domains: from health and well-being to sports, entertainment, and assistive technologies. We welcome contributions that explore theoretical foundations, hardware and software implementations, regulatory frameworks, and impactful real-world deployments.

The journal publishes research articles, review articles, commentaries, editorials, technical articles, and short communications with a continuous frequency.
