Main description:

This book describes new circuits and systems for implantable biomedical applications and explains the design of a batteryless, remotely-powered implantable micro-system, designed for long-term patient monitoring. Following new trends in implantable biomedical applications, the authors demonstrate a system which is capable of efficient, remote powering and reliable data communication. Novel architecture and design methodologies are used to transfer power with a low-power, optimized inductive link and data is transmitted by a reliable communication link. Additionally, an electro-mechanical solution is presented for tracking and monitoring the implantable system, while the patient is mobile.

Feature:

Describes practical example of an implantable batteryless biomedical system

Analyzes and compares various energy harvesting and power transfer methods

Describes design of remote powering link and data communication of the implantable system, comparing different scenarios for the optimal solution
