Although the use of volumetric conduction to power wireless implants has been experimentally validated in recent years, a theoretical framework to determine the power and efficiency obtained by minimally invasive implants ...

Sensing implants that can be deployed by catheterization or by injection are preferable over implants requiring invasive surgery. However, present powering methods for active implants and present interrogation methods for ...

Objective: Wireless power transfer (WPT) is used as an alternative to batteries to accomplish miniaturization in electronic medical implants. However, established WPT methods require bulky parts within the implant or ...

Galvanic coupling, or more precisely, volume conduction, can be used to communicate with and to transfer power to electronic implants. Since no bulky components for power, such as coils or batteries, are required within ...

Objective. To develop and in vivo demonstrate threadlike wireless implantable neuromuscular microstimulators that are digitally addressable. Approach. These devices perform, through its two electrodes, electronic rectification ...
