Wireless Power Transfer for Medical Devices

Implantable medical devices have revolutionized personalized diagnostics, monitoring and treatment. Batteries, however, limit device miniaturization and require invasive surgery for replacement.

This team’s system eliminates the need for a battery by employing telecommunications-range waves for wireless power transfer from an external source to a receiver that will be integrated into the device. This will allow for size reduction of current devices and potentially enable new small-scale biomedical applications.
