DISTRIBUTED EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL WIRELESS SENSOR SYSTEMS FOR CHARACTERIZATION OF SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE BIOMEDICAL STRUCTURE AND CONDITION

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed that use wireless coupling of energy for operation of both external and internal devices, including external sensor arrays and implantable devices. The signals conveyed may be electronic, optical, acoustic, biomechanical, and others to provide in situ sensing and monitoring of internal anatomies and implants using a wireless, biocompatible electromagnetic powered sensor systems.
