The near field 1/r^3 is defined by r and the starting point for how you define r is the radius of the coil used to generate the magnetic field. The average human body isn't much more than a foot thick. Putting a 12" diameter and thus 6" radius coil in a bit of padding and wearing it like a backpack isn't out of the question especially if it's only for a few hours to charge up every day. Or built in to your bed. That's not to say that what's been discovered here isn't a lot better than a big-ass coil. Just that the idea you couldn't get wireless power into the body is wrong. People have been using subdermal inductive charging for insulin pumps for years.
