Abstract:This paper reports recent results from an ongoing effort to develop an implantable accelerometer-based heart-monitoring device for ischemia monitoring. The latest device prototype utilizes a new and more compact accelerometer (1.2 × 1.5 × 0.8 mm3), a prototype device from Bosch SensorTec, Reutlingen, Germany. This paper presents the fabrication and testing of the device, including an explorative study of the effect of the capsule shape on the stability of the implanted device in the heart tissue. The stability… Show more
