A
Tiny New
Antenna for
Injectable Medical Devices
At the University of Michigan engineers have been working on developing
Tiny electronic
Devices that are small e**ugh to be injected through a syringe. Their latest development is a miniature
Antenna that can transmit and receive data in vivo at distances up to one foot. It uses magnetism instead of electromagnetic radiation because the body attenuates the latter very strongly. This is an important development that will help advance the field of implantable devices, making them smaller and more capable, as well as allowing external monitoring
Devices that connect to the implants to be worn **t just above the implant sites.
Here’s a video report from U of M on the new antenna:
