Abstract

Light Fidelity (LiFi) technology utilizes visible light as a transmission medium with a large spectrum and resistance to electromagnetic interference. Due to its unique characteristics, the use of light emitted by light-emitting diodes (LED) to transmit data makes it very safe when transmitting data. LiFi technology plays an integral role in many fields, such as aerospace, underwater communications, defense and security, and medicine. This paper introduces the basic working principle of LiFi. LiFi technology is used as a modulation technique for data transmission, and the current status of LiFi technology in the medical field is briefly analyzed, along with the challenges and difficulties encountered in this field. Examples include a medical monitoring system based on LiFi technology and the transmission of images in the operating theater using LiFi technology. In the medical field, LiFi technology also faces challenges and difficulties, such as ensuring the stability and reliability of communication and achieving efficient signal processing and data transmission. The potential of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology for in-depth research is described.
