For more accessible and advanced health monitoring, the Body Area Network (BAN) design with semantic technologies offers efficient information sensation and communication in smart healthcare Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). To addresses the critical challenges of effective communication and reduction of data transmission pressure in AIoT-BAN, a hybrid BAN system is proposed which enhances information processing and communication capabilities by leveraging semantic understanding and multimodal processing. It incorporates a semantic communication and sensation fusion framework, offloading based on the human Body Coupled Communication (BCC) channel, and multimodal semantic information integration to reduce data transmission pressure. The proposed method offers effective inclusive smart healthcare and daily health maintenance for the general public.
