IMPLANTABLE REMOTE COMMUNICATION TYPE MEDICAL SENSOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel remote communication type medical system used for various medical purposes such as monitoring of medical state or measurement of a parameter in a patient's body for various types of organs. SOLUTION: This remote communication type medical sensor to be implanted in the patient's body to measure the parameter in the body comprises a housing and a thin film arranged on one end of the housing. The thin film is deformable according to the parameter to be measured. A microchip is arranged in the housing and operatively conduced to the thin film, and it transmits a signal showing the parameter. The microchip comprises an array of photoelectric cells and an LED for transmitting light to the photoelectric cells. A shutter is connected to the thin film, and the shutter is movable between the photoelectric cells and the LED according to the deformation of the thin film.
