What is it about?
This article investigates current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the emerging and futuristic field of intelligent body-implantable device. This strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis aims to facilitate identification, understanding, and evaluation of strategic factors that assist or hinder mainstream realization, as well as the internal/external forces with which the technology is confronted. Such an analysis is essential for strategic technology planning, and inherently considers factors and forces from both the perspective of the technology and the users. The article also discusses the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in subcutaneous networks, and aims to emphasize the profile of both the fledgling technology and its assortment of hurdles.

Why is it important?
intelligent body-implantable devices are coming, we as a community of Technologists need to understand what they are, how they work, how they can be used, and what needs to be done by engineers to make sure they are useful devices that aid work, and life, and not dangerous trinkets that compromise our security, health, and identity.
Perspectives
This paper was a reaction to the increasing consumer electronics market and tries to navigate this impending technology from an academic perspective.
