Scope and Field of Application |
Recent advances in technology have made it possible to develop implanted electronic devices for medical purposes. These devices offer innovative ways to tackle health conditions that cause issues with conventional approaches. Active medical implants typically maintain life-crucial functionality (e.g., pacemakers), improve body functionality to restore normal living (e.g., hearing aids), or monitor the user’s health; implanted devices have the potential to improve outcomes in previously challenging cases. The effectiveness of implanted devices depends greatly on efficiency and reliability of the communication systems they rely on. Implanted devices with microcontrollers for recording signals feature limited processing power, storage, and battery life; consequently, optimization is crucial to ensure implanted devices operate as effectively as possible. For this purpose, possible realizations of ultra-low-power intrabody communication are investigated in this action. These include capacitive and galvanic coupling technologies for both wearable and implantable settings, as well as specific communication solutions for in-to-off-body communication aimed at external data processing. | ||||||
