This talk will first introduce our developed wearable devices such as a wearable electrocardiogram and a wearable robotic hand by combining vital sensors and human body communication technology, The basic EMI mechanism of external electromagnetic field to wearable devices will be clarified from the viewpoint of conversion from common mode to differential mode, and a countermeasure at the design stage will be shown. Moreover, an immunity test system for wearable devices will also be presented.

Jianqing Wang is a Full Professor at Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) and Vice Director of Center for Future Communications Research, NITech, Japan. He received the B.E. degree in electronic engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, China, in 1984, and the M.E. and D. Eng. degrees in electrical and communication engineering from Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, in 1988 and 1991, respectively. He was a Senior Engineer with Sophia Systems Company Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, before joining NITech, Nagoya, Japan, in 1997. His research interests include electromagnetic compatibility and biomedical communications. He authored Body Area Communications (Wiley-IEEE) in 2012 and received the Technical Achievement Award from the IEEE EMC Society in 2019. In 2021, he was elevated to IEEE Fellow for his contributions to EMC of biological and wearable/implant devices. Since 2020, he has been focusing his research on EMC aspects and international standardization of automobile Ethernet devices and components at the Center for Future Communications Research, NITech, which aims to evaluate the reliability of communication that contributes to the realization of a safe and secure autonomous driving system.
