Abstract

Overview

In this article, the author uses his expertise in geospatial information technology standards to propose ways to expedite advancements in bioelectromagnetics science.

Findings

• Studies identify biological effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation that do not cause temperature changes in biological entities. These findings signal the potential for severe long-term consequences on human and wildlife health.
• The existence of significant research deficits hinders the ability to derive conclusive insights from available data.
• The development of standard data models and experimental protocols is emphasized as essential to enhance research quality.
• Electrical signaling’s critical role in biological systems is highlighted, noting the disparity in funding compared to chemical signaling studies.

Conclusion

The author calls for increased collaboration between stakeholders in bioelectronic technology and environmental bioelectromagnetics research to develop better bioinformatics resources and access to omics data. This would fundamentally support the proposed bioelectromagnetics omics initiative.
