RF in Medicine: Current Status and Challenges of Wireless Power and Antennas
Abstract:
Wireless power and data telemetry technologies for biomedical and healthcare applications have received a lot of attention recently. Numerous applications in medical diagnostics and therapeutics ranging from cardiac pacemakers to emerging devices in visual prosthesis, brain computer interfaces and body area networks have spurred electronic engineers to propose new wireless medical devices. In the meantime, the ageing population poses many challenges to healthcare systems, especially on chronic illness management. In this talk, I would mainly cover our recent research progress on wearable/implantable antennas and wireless power for biomedical applications. A few related ongoing biomedical projects for on-body and in-body applications will be addressed.
